Thus, telomeres at the end of chromosomes are renewed and more telomeres are available at the tips of DNA strands even after a cell divides repeatedly

These effects are linked to alterations in mitochondrial structure, such as changes in membrane phospholipid composition, viscosity, and the structure and function of lipid microdomains, which in turn affect membrane-bound signaling proteins (65, 66)
Lumping explains the diversity of symptoms and degenerative changes documented in other areas of the nervous system, the skeletal muscles, and heart, as all these tissues are rich in mitochondria
