Is there more to aging than mitochondrial DNA and reactive oxygen species?
29 Sep 2009
With the aging of the population, we are seeing a global increase in the prevalence of age-related disorders, especially in developed countries. Chronic diseases disproportionately affect the older segment of the population, contributing to ... Read more...
Histochemical methods for the diagnosis of mitochondrial diseases.
29 Sep 2009
Through the process of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), mitochondria provide cells with required energy in the form of ATP. The organelle possesses its own genome (mtDNA), which encodes for part of the components needed (37 genes encoding either ... Read more...
Reconstructing Indian population history.
22 Sep 2009
India has been underrepresented in genome-wide surveys of human variation. We analyse 25 diverse groups in India to provide strong evidence for two ancient populations, genetically divergent, that are ancestral to most Indians today. One, the ... Read more...
