Research into an aging paradox reveals details on why certain dysfunctions in mitochondria can lead animals to live longer lives. The work, by Department of Cell and Developmental Biology researchers, shows that calcium signaling in another organelle and cell cytoskeleton restructuring are key to why these animals age more slowly.
