Mitochondria in health and disease

"Mitochondria in Health and Disease offers a collection of highly articulate cutting-edge contributions written by experts in a variety of areas of mitochondrial investigation. Through these pages, readers will explore the development, structure, and functions of this highly diverse and responsive organelle, and what happens when aberrations lead to malfunctions. It considers chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and the most pervasive disease of all, aging. Going a step further, this work also examines the other side of the equation, the impact of disease and other negative influences on the function and well-being of the mitochondria. The latest investigations make us rethink disease by pointing to the realization that chronic conditions can actually perpetuate DNA mutation in the mitochondria."--BOOK JACKET.
