Mitochondria and Longevity: How These Cellular Powerhouses Influence Aging
Mitochondria are tiny organelles found in almost all eukaryotic cells, including humans. They are often referred to as the “powerhouses” of the cell, as they are responsible for generating the majority of the cell’s energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). However, recent research has shown that mitochondria also play a critical role in…
