Mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells, playing a critical role in metabolism, signaling, apoptosis (programmed cell death), and immune function. Once thought of as simple power generators, mitochondria are now recognized as dynamic regulators of cellular health and disease, and serve as critical signaling hubs. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been linked to a wide range of disorders—including neurodegeneration, metabolic disease, cancer, and rare genetic syndromes.
Mitochondria are no longer just the “powerhouse of the cell”.
