Mitochondria

Cellular powerhouses producing ATP via oxidative phosphorylation.

What is Mitochondria?

Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles responsible for ATP production, calcium handling, and apoptosis regulation. Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in aging — driving research into mitochondrial-targeted peptides like SS-31 and MOTS-c.
