Researchers have shown that genetically engineered mitochondria can convert light energy into chemical energy that cells can use to sustain longer.New Delhi,UPDATED: Jan 4, 2023 14:03 ISTMitochondria are organelles found in most cells. (Photo: Getty)By India Today Web Desk: While humans continue to fight diseases and outbreaks, they can not yet prolong their lives. The science behind that remains not just complicated but farfetched. But a new study has shown a glimmer of hope that could, in a distant future, enable the human species to tingle with the process of aging.Researchers have shown that genetically engineered mitochondria can convert light energy into chemical energy that cells can use to sustain themselves. They found it happening in roundworm C. elegans indicating that further study could enable new ways to treat age-related diseases and age healthily.The findings
