Deciphering and reversing the consequences of mitochondrial DNA damage (RevMito)

Start date: Apr 1, 2015, End date: Mar 31, 2020,

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes several proteins playing key roles in bioenergetics. Pathological mutations of mtDNA can be inherited or may accumulate following treatment for viral infections or cancer. Furthermore, many organisms, including humans, accumulate significant mtDNA damage during their lifespan, and it is therefore possible that mtDNA mutations can promote the aging process.There ar ...
