Scientists have given the tiny powerhouses of our cells a remarkable high-tech makeover that preserves their energy production and could pave the way for future treatments.
Scientists have developed a way to coat mitochondria, the tiny structures responsible for producing energy inside cells, with advanced materials without interfering with their ability to function. The breakthrough could eventually help researchers develop new approaches to treating diseases caused by malfunctioning mitochondria.
