What happens with your mitochondria is they essentially are bobbing around inside of your cells, and then they fuse with other mitochondria, exchange all their content, mitochondrial DNA, and then fizz back apart.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
um, you don't really do that for the most part. You can, mitochondrial biogenesis does happen, but you have to stimulate it to happen. And, um, the way your mito like what happens with your mitochondria is they essentially are bobbing around inside of your cells and then they they fuse with other mitochondria, exchange all their content, mitochondrial DNA, and then fizz back apart. And that's how they kind of stay youngish.
but mitochondria have very elegant and beautiful way of repairing damage through fusion, right, mitochondrial fusion and fission. And this is a process, I mean, this is how we are able to repair damaged mitochondria because they're constantly fusing with healthy mitochondria changing, I mean, exchanging their DNA content, protein, things like that, and fissing back part.
