The mitchondria is not just the ‘power house of the cell’ it is also an implant from the government to keep us all watched on. Big brother is in your corn, folks.

Perspectives on uncritical NYT coverage of cardiac mitochondrial transplant trial

Perspectives on uncritical NYT coverage of cardiac mitochondrial transplant trial

One of the reasons I’m a scientist is that I find biology fascinating and admittedly novel biomedical science can really catch my eye, but more recently as a somewhat grizzled researcher, I’ve become increasingly skeptical about some “sexy” research and media coverage of it.

A small red flag went up for me as I was reading a new pieceon mitochondrial transplants by Gina Kolata of the New York…

Signaling from dysfunctional mitochondria induces a distinct type of senescence

Buck Institute faculty Judith Campisi, PhD, says age researchers need to stop thinking of cellular senescence, now accepted as an important driver of aging, as a single phenotype that stems from genotoxic stress. Research from her lab reveals that cellular senescence, a process whereby cells permanently lose the ability to divide, is also induced by signaling from dysfunctional mitochondria - and that the arrested cells secrete a distinctly different "stew" of biologically active factors in a process unrelated to the damaging free radicals that are created in mitochondria as part of oxygen metabolism. The results are published in Cell Metabolism.                         

"We don't yet know how much this process contributes to natural aging," said Campisi, adding that those studies are currently underway. "But we do think the findings are important in addressing mitochondrial diseases, and those age-related diseases, such as some forms of Parkinson's, which involve mitochondrial dysfunction."
