Blocking a mitochondrial transporter may curb inflammation from 'zombie' cells without killing them

Researchers person uncovered a antecedently chartless mechanics that helps aging cells thrust the chronic inflammation linked to galore age-related diseases. The findings uncover however dysfunctional mitochondria—the cell's energy-producing structures—work with the cell's epigenetic machinery to power connected inflammatory genes, opening the doorway to a caller therapeutic attack for promoting healthier aging.
