Mitochondria are the part of a cell that generate most of its energy to perform its functions. In injury or disease, mitochondrial function can become disrupted. Transplantation of healthy mitochondria is being explored as a potential therapy to replace damaged mitochondria and restore normal cellular function. However, this approach is difficult to perform because mitochondria are not able to maintain their healthy state outside of cells. Here, we show that one of the reasons for this is due to a molecular process called advanced glycation end product modification. We show that simple modification of mitochondria with a sugar prevents this process and helps to improve the success of therapeutic mitochondrial transplantation in cells and in a mouse model of stroke. Our findings may help to guide future efforts to develop therapies based on mitochondrial transplantation.
