Power, sex, suicide : mitochondria and the meaning of life

Lane, Nick, 1967-2018
Books
Mitochondria are tiny structures within all our cells, believed to have once evolved from bacteria living independent lives. Drawing on research, this book explores the fundamental role they play in some of the biggest themes in biology: evolution, the origin of the sexes, in growth, ageing, disease, and in death.
