  I have mitochondrial complex type II deficiency (heterozygous) and I'm going to see a genetic specialist in March. Should I ask her about this? I'm a young adult so I don't know if it would work for me.

  Someone on Twitter pointed out that this might also help people with long covid. >
  
  Exactly my thoughts. It’s exciting, isn’t it? There’s hope for the afflicted. >
  
  Mitochondrial disfunction is also linked to aging. Imagine being able to get a mitochondrial rejuvenation and how good it would feel to have some of the energy of youth. >
  
  Hmmmm new dystopian plot: people rush to have kids early with similar-gened partners so they could harvest their matching mitochondria (yes i know bad science) so they could stay young forever >
  
  Yes, the powerhouse of the cell returns!! >
  
  The mighty mitochondria is in the house! >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 95%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  It involves augmenting patients' hematopoietic stem cells - which give rise to all the different kinds of blood cells - with healthy mitochondria donated by their mothers.
  Because it's caused by a deletion that arises spontaneously, unlike many other mitochondrial diseases, the mothers of such patients don't carry the mutation.
  Minovia plans to begin a new trial of an off-the-shelf version of its treatment - consisting of hematopoietic stem cells enriched with mitochondria extracted from donated placentas - in Pearson patients in 2023, also at Sheba.

  I love science.
