New study found that when mitochondria were eliminated from ageing cells they became much more similar to younger cells. This experiment was able for the first time to conclusively prove that mitochondria are major triggers of cell ageing. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2016-02-mitochondria-triggers-cell-aging.html But mitochondria is like powerhouse to the cell. If you remove mitochondria how does a cell live without them?
Good question. I seem to remember that the processes in the mitochondria are problematic, since they include free radicals and other highly reactive substances. If those leak, the cell will be harmed. "Environmental pollution inside cells caused by mitchondria power plants lowers life expectancy of the cell" Long title, but that article should sell Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! My understanding is, if the mitochondria are removed, the cell will be disfunctional, even if it lives. I think the mitochondira are mostly used to make the cell work (for the organism), beyond the pure state of continued existence.
Monsanto’s Round Up herbicide, containing the likely-carcinogenic glyphosate, is causing widespread mitochondrial dysfunction in cells. This is associated with a long list of degenerative disease and chronic health conditions including autism, Alzheimer’s, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, type 2 Diabetes, Parkinson’s, and obesity. The mitochondria of our cells complete some of the most important functions of cellular respiration. This is how our cells eat, excrete, and repair themselves. Mitochondria are like the batteries of the cell. They create metabolic energy through ATP. If the mitochondria, well-defined cytoplasmic organelles of the cell are damaged, the cell cannot function. As Pamela Coleman, PhD from Farm and Food Policy and an Analyst for the Cornucopia Institute has said: “Contrary to the current widely-held misconception that glyphosate is relatively harmless to humans, the available evidence shows that glyphosate may rather be the most important factor in the development of multiple chronic diseases and conditions that have become prevalent in Westernized societies.” ..................... Perhaps Perhaps not Better to err on the side f caution Just say NO! to GMO
the batteries of the cells, are essential for ageing Life is a process of aging . If you live you are going to are . If you don't live you are not going to age.
