Mitochondrial fission and fusion

upin mouse cells1

1 study
  1. Chemical reprogramming cocktail increases mitochondrial fission and fusion in mouse cells.

    “increases the size of mitochondria, alters cristae morphology, causes an increased fusing of mitochondrial networks, and speeds up movement velocity”

Lipid droplet accumulation

upin mice1

1 study
  1. Chemical reprogramming cocktail increases lipid droplet accumulation in mice.

    “In the livers and kidneys of these animals, we observe significant increases in lipid droplet accumulation”

Body weight

downin mice1

1 study
  1. Chemical reprogramming cocktail decreases body weight in mice.

    “at higher doses, the cocktail causes a drastic reduction in body weight necessitating euthanasia”

    Animalshigher doses

1 study
  1. Chemical reprogramming cocktail has no effect on transcriptomic age in mice.

    “no effect on the transcriptomic age of kidney or liver tissues”
