The mitochondria, perhaps better known as the powerhouse of the cell, is emerging as a possible factor in the pains of aging.

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.

Yeast, worms, and mice remodel their endoplasmic reticulum early in the aging process. The protective shift offers potential targets to extend healthy lifespan.
