...disarmament. Fredrik S. Heffermehl Oslo Like all nuclear-weapons programs, North Korea's should be a concern for everyone. The notion of who is an outlaw and who occupies the moral high ground on enforcing nuclear nonproliferation isn't as clear to me as your article makes out. I suspect that the U.S.'s current work on tactical nuclear weapons and our unwillingness to reduce our inventory of warheads are in violation of the npt - making the U.S. an outlaw.

Exactly what role mitochondria play in these illnesses is still unclear. It's not even certain whether mitochondrial breakdowns are the cause or the effect of disease--although researchers suspect it's often a little of both. As mitochondria process food into energy, they create free radicals--highly reactive oxygen ions that can cause damage to proteins. Many experts believe that as cells age, this damage accumulates, weakening the mitochondria irrevocably and doing harm to specific organs--or, more generally, to the whole body. There's no smoking gun yet, says Mootha, but there's some tantalizing evidence...
...clearly a genetic abnormality that almost always sets things off. Mitochondria are different from the rest of the cell in that they have their own DNA, inherited directly from the mother (with no input from the father) that's entirely separate from the DNA in the nucleus. Evolutionary biologists suspect, in fact, that these organelles started out as independent bacteria that were absorbed long ago into cells and harnessed as energy factories...
