Welcome to the mitochondrial learning tool webpage! The goal of this site is to not simply provide information but to serve a greater purpose – to help families better understand the biology of mitochondria and the mechanisms associated with mitochondrial disease. This learning tool is a comprehensive resource with illustrations and animations to better explain the basic concepts of biology, diseases, the genetics of disease inheritance and much more.
Mitochondria are abundant in nearly all areas of the body. Mitochondrial diseases truly tie together all areas of medicine.
