Mitochondrial therapy for longevity: research and practical application

Mitospace is a project whose main goal is to prolong life and improve its quality. The project is based on the idea that the main role in diseases associated with aging is given to mitochondria. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells, they produce energy. Starting from the age of 35, the functions of mitochondria noticeably weaken, less energy is produced. As a result, the body begins to lose muscle strength, vitality, the work of the heart is disrupted, the reproductive function of men and women suffers, and the brain is disrupted. In scientific collections of articles there are a number of publications pointing to successful experiments on transplanting mitochondria from young donors to older ones. There are also experimental works on the transplantation of autologous (own) mitochondria from stem cells previously cultured on a nutrient medium. These data inspire considerable optimism in the development of mitochondrial therapy for the purposes of human rejuvenation and life extension.
