Abstract excerpt
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a debilitating mitochondrial disease associated with mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Unfortunately, the available treatment options for LHON patients are limited due to challenges in mitochondrial replacement. In our study, we reprogramming LHON urine cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and differentiating them into neural progenitor cells (NPCs)...
