Episode 22 - From mitochondria to healthy aging: focus on muscle and brain by Pr. Patrizia D’Amelio

Patrizia D’Amelio, specialist in physiopathology and Associate Professor at the CHUV Lausanne on the role of mitochondria on healthy aging with a focus on muscle and brain. Mitochondria are the engine of the cell and as such can produce the energy that we need, interact with different metabolic pathways, digest glucose & fatty acid and detoxify the organism. They are key to the survival and effectiveness of our cells, especially for tissue with high metabolic level such as brain and muscles. Discover in this podcast interview how mitochondrial function affects the aging process and its importance for our brain and muscles.
