Mitochondria are the power plants of the cell, their production of the chemical energy store molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) essential to cell function. With advancing age mitochondria become dysfunctional for reasons that in part involve damage to mitochondrial DNA and in part involve changes in gene expression that harm mitochondrial structure and the quality control processes of mitophagy. Mitochondrial dysfunction places stress on cells in a number of ways, from loss of ATP production to <a href="https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2023/05/targeting-mito…
