		<description><![CDATA[Scientists have successfully tested some germline gene therapy involving replacing genetic mutations in mitochondrial DNA of a mother&#8217;s egg to produce a disease-free, or genetically proper, egg. &#8220;In theory, this research has demonstrated it is possible to use this therapy in mothers carrying mitochondrial DNA diseases so that we can prevent those diseases from being [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pfizer recently announced that Dimebon (latrepirdine) is in Phase 3 trials and doing well. The drug is targeted to treat Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, but it may be one that we need to look at for treatment of mitochondrial disease as well. Dimebon, according to Pfizer, is thought to potentially stabilize or improve mitochondrial function in a [...]]]></description>

Mitoaction has a Clinician&#8217;s Guide on their website which is a wonderful resource for the patient, caregiver or medical professional. The guide is totally on their site and different sections are easily accessed by clicking on them. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today the FDA posted on its website that treatment with the epilepsy drug Zonegran (generic is zonisamide) can cause metabolic acidosis. Zonegran&#8217;s label is supposed to be updated with this new warning and recommends that patients have certain blood tests before starting treatment and periodically during treatment to check for acidosis. This new warning is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the first supplements that patients with mitochondrial disorders are prescribed is CoQ10, also known as Coenzyme Q10 or ubiquinone. The main reason that CoQ10 is so highly relied upon with mitochondrial dysfunction is that it is such a major player in cell function and the production of ATP &#8211; the actual &#8220;energy&#8221; that [...]]]></description>
