Dr. Jared Rutter, PhD, Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Utah and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, is a leading expert on mitochondria and metabolism. He explains how mitochondria produce the energy for your cells to work but also...

Highlights

Dr. Jared Rutter explains how mitochondria do far more than generate ATP: they help cells sense resources, choose between energy production and growth, and influence aging, disease, and cancer.

Transcript

Dr. Jared Rutter: There's a widely accepted hypothesis that mitochondria with excess energy leads to problems. Many people that are listening have probably heard of reactive oxygen species. This is forms of oxygen that become reactive and end up spinning o...
