Abstract excerpt
For directly addressing the issue of gene therapy of adult patients with mitochondrial diseases, we carried out bone marrow transplantation to adult mito-mice with mutated mtDNA and expressing respiration defects for improvement of disease phenotypes. We supposed that bone marrow cells transdifferentiated into various tissues, so that their transplantation would suppress disease phenotypes. The results showed...
