Mitochondrial dynamics, governed by fusion and fission, are crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis, energy production, stress adaptation. MFN2 OPA1, key regulators of mitochondrial fusion, play essential roles beyond their structural functions, influencing bioenergetics, intracellular signaling, quality control mechanisms such as mitophagy. Disruptions in these processes, often caused or OPA1 mutations, linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A (CMT2A) autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA). This review explores the molecular underlying impact dysfunction on oxidative phosphorylation autophagy, role progression. Additionally, we discuss divergent responses particularly terms proliferation, senescence, metabolic signaling. Finally, highlight emerging therapeutic strategies restore integrity, including mTOR modulation autophagy-targeted approaches, with potential implications disorders.
