Impaired energy production in older neurons may help explain why human brains are so vulnerable to age-related diseases, according to a new study at Salk Institute in California.
The scientists used a new strategy to discover that cells from older people had dysfunctional mitochondria — the power stations of cells — and lower energy production.
Mitochondria are responsible for converting our food into chemical energy our cells can use. Defects in mitochondrial genes can lead to...
