The next frontier in endurance doping?

Mitochondria doping. Tired of training hard to increase aerobic capacity? No prob, we’ll just extract some mitochondria, encapsulate them in some ‘vesicles’, and ship them right into your cells.

Of course, that’s a big leap. But it’s fun to think about. I think these guys got some volunteer test subjects to try to protocol IRL. That’s ‘in real life’ not ‘in rodent life’.

Interesting stuff, particularly if you look at the rodent tests of mitochondrial injections into the substantia nigra in alzheimers mice.

That said they still die fast.
