Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial dysfunction caused by pathogenic mutations in mitochondrial tRNA genes emerges only when mutant mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) proportions exceed intrinsic pathogenic thresholds; however, little is known about the actual proportions of mutant mtDNA that can affect particular cellular lineage-determining processes. Here, we mainly focused on the effects of mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction caused by...
