Abstract excerpt
The regulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number not only is critical for the maintenance of the normal mitochondrial function but has a strong clinical significance. A recent report revealed that the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is involved in the regulation of the mitochondrial function and is required for the optimal function of the electron transport chain. In this study,...
