Unveiling the Role of Mitochondria in Developmental Timing

Exploration of how mitochondria may act as cellular timekeepers, impacting the pace of development and biochemical reactions. Insights from neurobiologist's experiment with mouse and human stem cells shed light on cellular mechanisms, challenging views on mitochondrial stability and highlighting their involvement in neuron development. Research reveals disparities in developmental tempo among species and the role of mitochondria in driving these differences.
