News Release, World Mitochondria Society, Berlin - Germany – November 27, 2023

Aging, characterized as a progressive degeneration of cell and tissue functions, might be significantly influenced by mitochondrial processes.

Bonuccelli et al., from the University of Salford, United Kingdom used Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) to explore the effects of mitochondrial inhibitors on aging.


Key Findings:

Conclusion: The authors suggest that mitochondrial inhibitors can effectively extend lifespan and counteract aging-related declines in C. elegans, highlighting their potential in aging research.
