Abstract

) mice. This study demonstrates that mtDNA genetic manipulation ameliorates joint aging damage in a conplastic mouse model, suggesting that mtDNA variability is a prognostic factor for aging-related osteoarthritis (OA) and that modulation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) could be a novel therapeutic target for treating OA associated with aging.
