How Mitochondrial ‘Rubbish DNA’ May Drive Age-Related Inflammation—and What It Means for Healthy Aging
Understanding the Mitochondrial Mess Behind Aging As people live longer, researchers are increasingly focused on the tiny powerhouses inside our cells: the mitochondria. A new line of investigation suggests that a surprising source of chronic inflammation in aging may lie within the mitochondria themselves. When these organelles mismanage their own DNA, they can release material…
