Mitochondrial augmentation of CD34+ cells from healthy donors and patients with mitochondrial DNA disorders confers functional benefit

Abstract excerpt

Mitochondria are cellular organelles critical for numerous cellular processes and harboring their own circular mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Most mtDNA associated disorders (either deletions, mutations, or depletion) lead to multisystemic disease, often severe at a young age, with no disease-modifying therapies. Mitochondria have a capacity to enter eukaryotic cells and to be transported between cells. We describe a...
