Abstract

A mitochondrial gene therapy was validated by mitochondrial delivery of a therapeutic RNA in diseased cells with a mutation in the mitochondrial RNA using a MITO-Porter, a nanocarrier for mitochondrial delivery. Mitochondrial transfection of the therapeutic RNA decreased the mutation rate and improved mitochondrial function of the disease cells.
