Abstract
Do mtDNA mutations contribute to the aging process, or are they innocent bystanders? Ross et al. (2013) show that inherited mtDNA point mutations lead to a premature aging phenotype in mice and "prime" the maternal lineage, interacting with subsequent somatic mutations to cause brain malformations and shorten lifespan.Entities:
