""Our data identify an essential mediator of exercise responsiveness and an entry point for interventions to maintain muscle function during aging."

That essential mediator is the cycle of fragmentation and repair of the mitochondria, the specialized structures, or organelles, inside every cell responsible for producing energy."

I thought that those of you focused on mitochondrial dysfunction as part of ME might find this interesting.
