A new biochemical pathway that regulates aging has been discovered, based on signals passed between mitochondria. Damage to mitochondria in brain cells triggers a repair response that is then amplified and communicated to mitochondria throughout the body, extending life span. Cells in the germline play critical roles in relaying the Wnt signal between the nervous system and tissues throughout the rest of the body. As the worm grows older, its germline transmits the repair signal less effectively, leading to a decline in health.
