Abstract

The aging process is accompanied by the onset of disease and a general decline in wellness. Insights into the aging process have revealed a number of cellular hallmarks of aging, among these epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, and stem cell exhaustion. Mitochondrial dysfunction increasingly appears to be a common factor connecting several of these hallmarks, driving the aging process and afflicting tissues throughout the body. Recent research has uncovered a much more complex involvement of mitochondria in the cell than has previously been appreciated and revealed novel ways in which mitochondrial defects feed into disease pathology. In this review we evaluate ways in which problems in mitochondria contribute to disease beyond the well-known mechanisms of oxidative stress and bioenergetic deficits, and we predict the direction that mitochondrial disease research will take in years to come.

  • Mitochondrial dysfunction has been associated with age-related diseases such as neurological disorders, cardiovascular disease, liver and kidney diseases, diabetes and cancer.

    “it has been associated with a number of age-related diseases such as neurological disorders, cardiovascularCVD, liver and kidney diseases, diabetes and cancer (Lane et al., 2015; Payne and Chinnery, 2015; Ryan et al., 2015; Wallace, 2012).”
  • Mitochondrial dysfunction is a major contributor to aging and aging-driven degenerative diseases such as diabetes, heart diseases, cancer, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

    “It is now recognized that mitochondrial dysfunction is a major contributor to aging and aging-driven degenerative disease, such as diabetes, heart diseases, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease [35,36,37,38,39,40].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
