Finally some practical progress
How to get new Mitochondrias?😁
The Bill Gates and Jeff Bezoses of the world would have no problem draing mitochondria from children. Probably being done right now.
Wow never knew this was possible
Very cool to hear updates on this.
Fantastic
Great job
Truly fascinating. Thank you.
Honestly, I got a triple dose of stem cells 6 years ago, and I feel amazing. I'm almost 50, no wrinkles, the only sign of my age is a dad bod, and my beard is white. I shave that thing off, and I look anywhere between 30 and 45.
Stem cells seem to be the key, at least if my experience is anything to go by.
the three Rs… reduce, reuse, recycle… aren't the platelet mitochondria being reused rather than recycled? In fact isn't that the point, the platelet is being recycled, but it's a waste to break up and remake the mitochondria so just reuse them? I'm sure he means reuse when he's talking, I just feel reuse is more precise…
They should be trying this on pigs and dogs this year.
Most proteins that appear in mitochondria are coded in the genomic DNA. Even if a fresh mitochondrion is introduced that houses a healthy complement of proteins, how long will that last in a less than healthy cell?
There is no such thing like stem-cell. It's all bs. You should tell people what happened to this clone Dolly. As far as I know it was born already old and died soon.
Tom gave a fantastic presentation! I know Tom has been very passionate about the potential that young mitochondrial transplantation can have so it’s exciting to see this progress! Bravo!
Really exciting work, very encouraging.
On various forums over the years I've posted the idea of creating synthetic mitochondria that could 'infect' patient cells & replace the native mitochondria – never got any replies.
26 kb, pretty large, can they be utilized as a vector?
Will this procedure change the DNA of your original mitochondria?
Wondering if you can see a reversal of the Horvath clock (DNA Methylation)
