Mitochondria-targeted peptides studied for bioenergetics and cardiolipin.
Mitochondrial peptides are studied as regulators of cellular energy production — both the mitochondria-derived peptides encoded within the mitochondrial genome and synthetic compounds that target the inner membrane. The unifying interest is bioenergetic efficiency and resilience under metabolic stress.
Research endpoints include cardiolipin stabilization and electron-transport efficiency, exercise capacity and metabolic flexibility, and inherited or acquired mitochondrial dysfunction such as mitochondrial myopathy, Barth syndrome, and heart failure. The area overlaps closely with aging and metabolic research.
