Thanks for posting. This is a very novel and very cool approach. Very much outside the box, and makes conceptual sense. Essentially ‘replacing the batteries’.
It would be great if they tried this procedure on people with subdural hematomas.
I concepted this in 1984. As a first grader during science time.

I wonder if it could fix the mental defect leftists have in their brains. Inject it right through the eye socket or nasal passages.
Interesting and great.
Or TBIs.
not sure how this process works.
Mitochondria are ‘organelles’ located INSIDE of cells, and cell you would think would not easily ‘accept inside’ foreign structures like this.
A clue might be that some theories say that some organelles like mitochondria (which have a loop of their own DNA) were once separate simple organisms which more complex cells absorbed into themslves over a billion years ago.
Not to sound heartless but I wonder if that injection could work on skippy.
