In biology classes from high school through university, I learned that mitochondria are little objects that reside within ...

Mitochondria are essential organelles that produce the energy ... Our stuff is so undesirable that evolution has designed multiple mechanisms to make sure it is cleared during reproduction,” said Xue.

Scientists have shown that in one in every 4,000 births, some of the genetic code from our mitochondria—the 'batteries' that power our cells—inserts itself into our DNA, revealing a surprising ...

My search for answers to these stupendously ambitious questions led me, it now seems inexorably, to mitochondria. This idea ...
