Texas A&M scientists used nanoflower-boosted stem cells to deliver extra mitochondria to weakened cells, restoring lost energy and improving survival under stress.
Scientists at Texas A&M University say they may have found a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production.
Their approach uses engineered particles to push stem cells into producing extra mitochondria, which then move into weakened cells and restore lost energy.
The work could influence treatments for aging, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Researchers linked many age-related and degenerative conditions to declining mitochondria.
