Mitochondrial Transplantation: From Skeletal Muscle Atrophy to Human Clinical Advances and Perspectives
Presentation Summary
Mitochondrial transplantation has been shown to prevent skeletal muscle atrophy and, when combined with exercise, can significantly enhance muscle function. It has also been demonstrated to accelerate human wound healing.
This presentation will cover its role in skeletal muscle atrophy and recent human clinical advances, including human study on mitochondrial transplantation for wound healing. Dr. Kubat will discuss its potential to enhance tissue regeneration, improve recovery, and its future applications in clinical medicine.
