just finished it. its a wonderful beginning the those interested in mitochondria and also explains about cellular mechanism to an extent. death, aging, need for 2 genders are all related to mitochondria which is explained in this book lucidly. the writting style is very easy to understand even for layman

It will provide you with very basic and enough knowledge of mitochondria.

This is a phenomenal book that says about the genetics, the conduct of mitochondria, and how they eventually become life threatening. Earlier mitochondria were considered power house, but they play more other role other than power production. Therefore Mr.Lane has defined exceptionally how well cells produce, reproduce and engage in power production. One can have an insight on how cells works and their evolution. Overall, this is well written pieces of facts that align well with genetics, and evolution of cells, tissues, organs and much more. Mitochondria is indeed considered power house, that turns bizerk and turns into cancer.
