- Plant-derived nanothylakoid units deliver photosynthetic systems to animal cells to restore organelle interaction homeostasis disrupted by metabolic stress.
- These systems provide energy, regulate intracellular Ca2+, increase ER lipid unsaturation and membrane fluidity, reduce abnormal mitochondria-ER contact, and alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction.
- Combined with implantable light-emitting diodes and wireless charging, the therapy expands to treat deeper tissues, offering a proof-of-concept for degenerative disease treatment.
