Researchers from Karolinska Institutet have discovered how mammalian cells prevent the gradual buildup of harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA, the small but vital genome that powers every cell. The ...
High mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) amount has been reported to be beneficial for resistance and recovery of metabolic stress, while increased mtDNA synthesis activity can drive aging signs. The intriguing ...
Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in nuclear DNA. These lesions disrupt energy production and activate ...
