- Biomedical engineers at Texas A&M University do this research.
- They use tiny nanoflower particles near stem cells.
- Nanoflowers make stem cells create more mitochondria than usual.
- The stem cells make about twice the normal amount.
- Stem cells then give extra mitochondria to weak cells.
- Damaged or aging cells get new mitochondria and energy.
- Rejuvenated cells restore function and resist cell death.
- Researchers say no genetic changes or drugs are needed.
Difficult words
- mitochondria — a small part in a cell that makes energy
