Abstract: Finding enough gas to fill ravenous SUVs isn't the world's only energy crisis. As people age, they lose mitochondria, the cell's power producers. Now, researchers have pegged a signaling molecule that prompts cells to make more of the organelles. The finding could lead researchers to ways of augmenting mitochondrial supplies in the elderly and in people with diseases such as diabetes.
