Abstract
Mitochondria deteriorate during the aging process, but the underlying mechanisms for the decline of this critical organelle are unknown. A new study indicates that in yeast an age-dependent reduction in vacuolar acidification leads to mitochondrial dysfunction through a surprising mechanism: loss of vacuolar neutral amino acid transport.
