Chinese Scientists Pack Healthy Mitochondria into Vesicles, Paving a New Route for Organelle Therapy

A Chinese research team has devised a vesicle-based "capsule" to encapsulate healthy mitochondria and deliver them efficiently to cells and tissues, showing preclinical benefit for models of Parkinson’s disease and mitochondrial DNA deletion syndromes. Published in Cell, the work advances an organelle-therapy concept with broad therapeutic promise, but substantial technical, safety and regulatory challenges remain before human use.
