Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial diseases are a group of serious inherited multisystem disorders caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) or nuclear DNA and still have faced a significant challenge to therapy due to their complicated genotype-phenotype relationships and diverse clinical manifestations. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) offered novel opportunities for cell-based modeling mitochondrial...
