Why do we age? Communication inside your cells may offer clues (Philadelphia Inquirer)

The Philadelphia Inquirer featured research by Changhan David Lee of the USC Leonard Davis School that found mitochondria help transfer vital genetic information within a cell. The discovery opens up treatment possibilities for diseases as another target for therapies. The researchers found that although the nucleus was thought to have complete control of a cell’s genetic material, mitochondria also play a significant role as well.
