So the mitochondria damage the cells nuclear DNA which then makes the cell divide uncontrollably? But the experiment mentioned in the article doesn't support that? They took the damaged nuclear DNA and couldn't get a normal cell to go cancerous with it. So I'm wondering if somehow the mitochondria is actually affecting the cells behavior and division?
