Friedberg predicts mitotherapy could become a major new treatment modality for many diseases based on recent research.
“So this opens up the door to this whole new therapeutic modality, a new type of therapy called mitotherapy or mitochondrial therapy that based on the series of papers that we're seeing coming out recently, I believe could end up becoming a really incredible new therapy that may ultimately lead to the treatment for many diseases”
Friedberg says dysfunctional mitochondria may be a key driver for cancers, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, and autism.
“So every cell in our body gets its energy, which is what it uses to function from the mitochondria.”
