The results showed that when a mutation leading to mitochondrial dysfunction is induced, the mouse develops wrinkled skin and significant and visible hair loss within a few weeks.
However, when mitochondrial function is restored by extinguishing the gene responsible for its dysfunction, the mouse returns to the smooth skin and thick fur, indistinguishable from a healthy mouse of the same age.
According to the study's authors, the decline in mitochondrial function in humans is visible during aging, and can lead to age-related diseases.

The summer brings many digestive problems. Not only do high temperatures make us sweat more, but they also reduce our immunity, so be sure to eat well this season.
According to Kirti Chadha, head of global reference laboratories, Metropolis Healthcare Ltd., "the summer brings the majority of digestive-related diseases, and considering the rising temperatures each year, it is very important to manage our eating habits to avoid gastric diseases.
Here are some Chadha tips for keeping your stomach healthy this summer:
They found that, the mice showed gray hair, reduced hair density, hair loss, slowed movements and lethargy in four weeks. Wrinkled skin was observed four to eight weeks after induction of the mutation, and females had more severe skin wrinkles than males.
Inversion of the mutation restores mitochondrial function, as well as cutaneous and capillary pathology.
However, little change was observed in other organs when the mutation was induced, suggesting an important role for mitochondria in the skin compared to other tissues.
"This suggests that the epigenetic mechanisms underlying mitochondrial nucleus crosstalk must play an important role in restoring the normal skin and hair phenotype," said Singh.
