is presented as a possible way to counter mitochondrial damage after .
Evidence
This review synthesizes mechanistic and therapeutic evidence on mitochondrial transfer pathways in ischemic stroke, including tunneling nanotubes, extracellular vesicles, and free mitochondrial transfer.
Caveat
The abstract describes therapeutic promise and obstacles but does not report human clinical trial outcomes for stroke treatment.
Simplified
, the second leading cause of human mortality, presents a formidable challenge to healthcare. Following ischemic insult, the brain undergoes intricate pathological transformations, prominently marked by mitochondrial damage, including swelling, fission, and mitophagy, collectively termed mitochondrial quality control disorder. Mitochondria, pivotal in energy regulation and oxidative stress modulation, play a critical role in neuronal apoptosis post-stroke. To solve the problems caused by mitochondrial quality control disorders, has become a new therapeutic strategy for central nervous system diseases. Mitochondrial transfer refers to the process by which certain cell types export their mitochondria and pass them on to other cell types, a process also known as intercellular mitochondrial transfer. Mechanistically, mitochondrial transfer occurs via tunneling nanotubes, extracellular vesicles, and free mitochondrial transfer, exerting multifaceted effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-lipid peroxidation, ferroptosis modulation, and enhancement of mitochondrial metabolism. This review explores the therapeutic efficacy, current obstacles, and future prospects of mitochondrial transfer in ischemic stroke, offering insights to researchers and instilling hope in patients for conquering this debilitating condition.
