When studying mitochondria, it is essential to consider the impact of physical activity. Some findings attributed to 'aging' might actually be the result of decades of physical inactivity. ⬇️

Mitochondrial dynamics proteins have other functions than just regulating mito dynamics, but they are often forgotten.

Congrats to the team and especially Rémi Chaney and @gillesgouspillou.bsky.social who did the heavy lifting on this review 💪
