Aging, neurodegenerative disorders and metabolic disease are all linked to mitochondria, structures within our cells that generate chemical energy and maintain their own DNA. In a fundamental discovery with far-reaching implications, scientists at ��ϲ��Ͽ� Davis now show how cells control DNA synthesis in mitochondria and couple it to mitochondrial division.
