Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Aging and Age-related Disorders

Abstract

Mitochondrial dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a unifying mechanism underlying aging and a wide range of age-related diseases. This special issue brings together recent advances that elucidate how impaired mitochondrial function contributes to neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders. The featured articles highlight molecular pathways of mitochondrial decline, its systemic consequences, and potential interventions aimed at restoring mitochondrial health. Collectively, these studies reinforce the concept that targeting mitochondrial integrity holds significant promise for promoting healthy aging and preventing chronic disease.
