Wrinkles and Hair Loss Reversed through Mitochondrial Restoration

Skin wrinkles and hair loss are two of the most commonly bemoaned signs of aging, but a team at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) has now demonstrated how both of these telltale features of passing years can be reversed, at least in a mouse model. Studies in experimental mice by UAB professor of genetics Keshav Singh, Ph.D., and colleagues, showed how a gene mutation that leads to mitochondrial dysfunction – which is known to be linked with aging and age-related diseases in hum
