Abbildung 5: Injection of autologous purified mitochondria
Injection of autologous purified mitochondria. Oocyte stem cells are purified from the other cells, in the ovarian cortex and the mitochondria is extracted from the stem cells. In order to satisfy legal, ethical and scientific criteria the source of the mitochondrial activity must meet two requirements: the mitochondria must be obtained from the same individual as the oocyte (autologous) and the mitochondria must be germ line quality (undamaged and free of mutations).
