MITOCHONDRIAL AUGMENTATION THERAPY FOR PRIMARY MITOCHONDRIAL DISEASES

摘要

The present invention provides human stem cells enriched with functional mitochondria, wherein the healthy functional exogenous mitochondria constitute at least 3% and less than 33% of the total mitochondria in the mitochondrially-enriched human stem cells. Further disclosed are methods for the production of such cells, and uses thereof for the treatment of primary mitochondrial diseases.
