00:00Mitochondria transplants could revolutionize disease treatment and increase life expectancy.

00:06Mitochondrial transplants offer a novel method for disease treatment and life extension

00:10by transplanting organelles, akin to cell organs. Replacing worn-out mitochondria with

00:16healthy ones boosts cell energy, potentially treating heart and age-related diseases.

00:21Faulty mitochondria cause diseases. Mitochondrial mutations impact 1 in 5,000.

00:32Manovia Therapeutics, an Israeli company, is focusing on Pearson syndrome,

00:37Kern-Sayer syndrome, and myelody'splasia, a form of anemia caused by mitochondrial mutations.

00:46Dr. James McCulley's mitochondrial transplants help restore heart function in premature

00:51babies, improve survival rates, and are emerging as potential therapies for cancer and spinal

00:57injuries. Dr. Melanie Walker uses mitochondrial infusion during stroke treatment to repair

01:05neuron damage. Promising trials lead to further studies on hearts, injured neurons, and Pearson

01:11syndrome. Young plasma transfusions rejuvenate older animals, sparking research on mitochondria's

01:21role in extending human health span, possibly aligning it with longer lifespans.

01:29Mitochondrial transplants show promise but require standardized methods and larger studies

01:34to confirm treatment efficacy and overcome existing challenges.
