Question

Mitochondrial dysfunction is seen in a variety of diseased states such as cancers, myopathies and sarcopenia. In a few well-strcutured sentences, answer the following questions. Choosing one of the provided disease states, answer the following questions:

  • What is mitochondrial dysfunction?
  • How does mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to the disease state or progression?  

This answer should be succinct. Please do not think you need to fullly explain the above as these are active areas of research and therefore do not yet have one "correct" thoughts. This is an opportunity for you to see if you can connect a sub-cellular organelle to whole-body health.
