Abstract excerpt
Mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are crucial for cellular energy metabolism and the adaptive response to environmental changes. mtDNA collaborates with the nuclear genome to regulate mitochondrial function. Dysfunctional mitochondria and mutations in mtDNA are implicated in a wide range of diseases, including mitochondrial disorders, neurodegenerative conditions, age‑associated pathologies and cancer....
