Mitochondrial transfer and its role in regenerative properties of mesenchymal stem cells
Jaborová, Natálie ; Krulová, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Nahácka, Zuzana (referee)
Mitochondrial transfer represents a form of intercellular communication. In this process, mitochondria are delivered from the donor cell to the recipient cell through several structures. The transfer of mitochondria is observed under pathological and physiological conditions and is accompanied by specific signaling. Mitochondria uptake by injured cells promotes tissue regeneration. This bachelor thesis discusses general knowledge of mitochondrial transfer focusing on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as a donor cell type. Furthermore, the regenerative effect of MSC-derived mitochondria transfer to cells damaged by various pathologies is summarized. In this regard, MSCs have significant therapeutic potential that could be used in future clinical strategies for a number of diseases. Keywords: mitochondria, transfer, mesenchymal stem cells, regeneration
