Mini-Brains Unlock Secrets of Mitochondrial Disorders

Researchers at the University of Bergen have developed mini-brains, or brain organoids, to study mitochondrial dysfunction in brain cells, offering new insights into treating conditions like epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's diseases. These organoids mimic disease processes, allowing for real-time observation and testing of potential treatments, potentially revolutionizing the understanding and treatment of mitochondrial brain disorders.
