Therapeutic effects of melatonin on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury: Role of Yap-OPA1 signaling pathway and mitochondrial fusion

The role of OPA1-related mitochondrial fusion in brain reperfusion stress has remained elusive. The aim of our study is to explore whether melatonin alleviates cerebral IR injury by modulating OPA1-related mitochondrial fusion. We found that melatonin reduced infarct area and suppressed neuron death...
