			Mitochondria are components in our [[cell (biology)\|cells]] that are important for [[energy]] production. They contain their own genetic material, and mutations to their DNA can affect a cell’s ability to function properly. Indirectly, these mutations may accelerate many aspects of aging. Because of the highly oxidative environment in mitochondria and their lack of the sophisticated repair systems found in cell nucleus, mitochondrial mutations are believed to a be a major cause of progressive cellular degeneration. This would be corrected by [[allotopic expression]]—moving the [[DNA]] for mitochondria completely within the cellular [[Cell nucleus\|nucleus]], where it is better protected. In humans, all but 13 proteins are already protected in this way. De Grey argues that experimental evidence demonstrates that the operation is feasible.
