Mitochondrial DNA Leakage May Fuel Inflammation as We Age—and Targeting It Could Boost Healthy Longevity
Understanding the Link Between Mitochondrial DNA and Inflammation As science shines a light on the cellular processes that drive aging, a growing body of research points to mitochondria—the powerhouses of our cells—as more than just energy producers. A new study from the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Germany reveals a molecular mechanism…

Mitochondrial DNA Shortfalls May Fuel Inflammation as We Age
New Clues on Inflammation and Aging: Mitochondrial DNA’s Role Scientists are uncovering a surprising link between the tiny powerhouses inside our cells and the chronic inflammation often seen as we grow older. A study led by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Germany suggests that when mitochondria struggle to replicate…
