For mtDNA, there are no effective editing systems – that decreases progress in both the investigation of basic mitochondrial biology and the development of methods for gene therapy of hereditary diseases caused by mtDNA mutations. The absence of a reliable system for targeted delivery of biological material to mitochondria is a key problem, which has not been solved in an efficient way yet. In this regard, the development and potentiation of the targeted delivery of therapeutic nucleic acids and proteins to mitochondria will be the cornerstone of our project.
