Key cell-death step found

...wo. When mitochondrial fusion goes awry, cells are targeted for programmed cell death, or apoptosis. Apoptosis is a normal process in healthy individuals, but if mitochondrial fusion doesn't work, the wrong cells die, causing disease. This is what happens in two neurodegenerative diseases: dominant optic atr...
