Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) editing has emerged as a revolutionary approach in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). As these diseases continue to impose a significant global health ...

Patients with rare mitochondrial diseases already face a host of serious health issues, from muscle weakness to neurological problems and heart conditions.

However, the majority of mitochondrial diseases are due to mutations in nuclear DNA that affect products that end up in the mitochondria. These mutations can either be inherited or spontaneous.

Single-cell analysis of over 120,000 cells reveals how mitochondrial DNA mutations accumulate with age and may affect ageing and neurodegeneration.New ...
