Mitochondria morphology and the molecular regulators of mitochondria dynamics in the regulation of transitioning between stem cells states and immune cells. The molecular regulators underlying fusion and fission events are depicted below the schematic representation of round/fragmented and elongated/fused mitochondria, respectively. Transitioning between the different stem cell states and immune cells was reported to be dependent upon the levels of these molecular regulators, according to the established mitochondria morphology characteristics with each state.
