Mitochondrial DNA and ageing.

Abstract excerpt

The accumulation of mitochondrial DNA mutations has been proposed as a potential mechanism in the physiological processes of ageing and age-related disease. Although mitochondria have long been anticipated as a perpetrator of ageing, there was little experimental evidence to link these changes directly with the cellular pathology of ageing. Recently, considerable progress in understanding basic mitochondrial...
