A newly discovered DNA modification in mitochondria creates sticky lesions that hinder energy production and force cells into stress mode. This vulnerability may help explain how damaged mtDNA sparks inflammation and contributes to chronic disease. Credit: Shutterstock A newly identified kind of DNA damage inside mitochondria, the small structures that supply cells with energy, may help explain how the body detects and reacts to stress. The work, led by researchers at UC Riverside and published
