Mitochondria adapt to cellular needs by changes in morphology through fusion and fission events, referred to as mitochondrial dynamics. Mitochondrial function and morphology are intimately connected and the dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics is linked to several human diseases. In this work, we investigated the role of mitochondrial dynamics in wound healing in the <i>Drosophila</i> embryonic epidermis. Mutants for mitochondrial fusion and fission proteins fail to close their wounds, indica ...[more]
