Abstract excerpt
Yeast can be used as a model to understand the impact mitochondria have on aging in higher organisms. Mitochondrial dysfunction increases with replicative age in yeast, and this is associated with the induction of the retrograde response. This intracellular signaling pathway from the mitochondrion to the nucleus results in changes in the expression of metabolic and stress genes, which adapt the yeast cell to the...
