Abstract
During aging, mitochondrial membrane potential, a key indicator for bioenergetics of cells, depolarizes in a wide range of species—from yeasts, plants to animals. In humans, the decline of mitochondrial activities can impact the high-energy-consuming organs, such as the brain and heart, and increase the risks of age-linked diseases. Intriguingly, a mild depolarization of mitochondria has lifespan-extending effects, suggesting an important role played by bioelectricity during aging. However, the underpinning biophysical mechanism is not very well understood due in part to the difficulties associated with a multiscale process. Budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae could provide a model system to bridge this knowledge gap and provide insights into aging. In this perspective, we overview recent studies on the yeast mitochondrial membrane electrophysiology and aging and call for more electrochemical and biophysical studies on aging.
