Mitochondrial diseases are a group of disorders associated with dysfunctional mitochondria, often caused by genetic mutations to mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondrial defects are damaging, particularly to tissues with high energy demands such as neural and muscle tissues. Energy effecting defects have been implicated in forms of movement disorders, cardiomyopathy,...

It is becoming increasingly apparent that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a critical role in numerous human diseases. Yet, there are no approved drugs designed to directly target mitochondria. To develop new therapeutics that target mitochondria, ideally, a mitochondrial targeting moiety would be utilized. Although several functionalities have been...

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in a number of diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), movement disorders, diseases of the cardiovascular system, cancer, diabetes, blindness and deafness. Mitochondrial defects are damaging, particularly to tissues with high energy demands such as neural and muscle tissues. Membrane-penetrating...

Mitochondria are intracellular organelles responsible for a number of metabolic transformations and regulatory functions. They produce much of the ATP employed by eukaryotic cells. They are also the major source of free radicals and reactive oxygen species that cause oxidative stress. Mitochondrial defects are damaging, particularly to neural and...
