A process that transfers mitochondria from one cell to another. This approach has potential benefits for treating mitochondrial disorders.
Mitochondrial therapy refers to a range of medical and therapeutic approaches aimed at improving or restoring the function of mitochondria, the energy-producing organelles in cells. Since mitochondria play a critical role in cellular energy production, metabolism, and signaling, their dysfunction is associated with a variety of diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic syndromes, cardiovascular diseases, and aging-related conditions.
Healthy mitochondria can be moved into damaged cells to give them more energy and reduce stress. For example, this method has been used to help hearts recover from damage and to speed up liver healing after surgery.
Special cells, called mesenchymal stromal cells, can share their mitochondria with damaged cells. This gives the injured cells more energy to heal and work properly again.
When mitochondria get old or stop working, the body can clean them out and make room for new, healthy ones. This process helps cells stay strong and recover, especially in diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Mitochondrial therapy is a versatile tool in regenerative medicine, offering potential treatments for tissue recovery and repair through transplantation, bioenergetic enhancement, and genetic interventions. It continues to evolve, aiming to address challenges in mitochondrial delivery, targeting, and integration for broader clinical application.
Mitochondrial therapy is a powerful way to help damaged tissues heal by giving cells more energy, fixing problems in mitochondria, and even replacing them when needed. Scientists are still working on making these treatments better, but they show a lot of promise for the future.
