Using stem cell-derived artificial organelles to improve neural oxidative phosphorylation imbalances

In humans, the main molecular energy carrier is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It is critical for cellular functions all over the body, especially in the brain. Its synthesis, which occurs in the mitochondria, through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is a complex, multi-step process.
