Ribonucleotide incorporation into mitochondrial DNA drives inflammation - Nature
Imbalanced nucleotide metabolism leads to age- and mtDNA-dependent inflammatory responses and senescence-associated secretory phenotype in senescence.
📢 Publication Alert: We're excited to share a new study from the Langer Lab published in @nature.com! It uncovers how an excess of RNA building blocks can destabilize mitochondrial DNA, which plays a role in age-related inflammation.
