Merged summary

TL;DR - Researchers injected patients’ own mitochondria into the retina in an attempt to restore vision. The procedure appeared safe, but any visual improvement was temporary.

  • The treatment used autologous mitochondria, meaning they came from the patient.
  • Mitochondria were delivered directly into the retina.
  • The reported effect on vision was temporary rather than sustained.
  • The limited information provided does not specify the trial size, condition treated, or magnitude of improvement.
