Abstract (original English)

Mitochondria transplantation therapy is emerging as a novel therapeutic approach to promote neuroprotection in central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Here, we present a protocol for mitochondrial surface modification that enhances the restoration of intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels under conditions of oxidative stress. We describe steps for isolating mitochondria, preparing the dual-tube system, and encapsulation with lipid coat. We then detail procedures for performing assays and analyses. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Nakano et al. 1 .
