Summary

Story summary

Researchers at Texas A&M University developed a method to rejuvenate old and damaged human cells by replacing their mitochondria.
The approach uses nanoflowers and stem cells to boost mitochondrial production.
Stem cells produce twice the mitochondria and transfer them to damaged cells.
The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could impact aging, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders.
