Mitochondria, ATP, and Telomeres: The Interconnected Pathways of Energy, Aging, and Longevity
Abstract Aging is increasingly understood not as the consequence of a single biological clock but as the cumulative result of interacting cellular and molecular processes. Among these, mitochondrial function, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, and telomere integrity are important and interconnected. Mitochondria generate most of the ATP required to sustain cellular activity while simultaneously participating in…
