I see a great future in mitochondrial medicine, and hope this startup company gets some good funding soon. I’ve heard that much of the “slowing down” (or lower energy levels) associated with aging may be a mitochondria issue, and perhaps mitochondria transplants may address this issue (in addition to wound healing, muscle maintenance, and many others).
Mitrix bio was at the Longevity Summit in December and was covered in this post on the highlights: Highlights from the 2023 Longevity Summit
Some notes from the podcast:
- Bioreactor-grown mitochondria
- 8-9 years old field
- Grow young healthy mitochondrial and transplant them into the cells
- The theory: texting and repairing mechanisms weaken and don’t have enough energy to do their jobs as effectively
- The brain and heart don’t decline as fast as the rest of the body
- The kidneys and skin and muscles decline the fastest
- Mitochondria are fundamental to all of your cells and organs and muscles
- 10% of you body weight and generate 90% of your energy in your body
- Merged a billion years ago with simple-celled organisms
