Abstract

The research foundation of mitochondrial medicine stems from over a century of scientific exploration. Since the late 19th century, when mitochondria were first discovered and named, through the mid-20th century, when the concept of mitochondrial diseases was established, to 2013, when Cell identified "mitochondrial dysfunction" as a hallmark of aging, the focus of mitochondrial medicine has expanded from the narrow domain of classical mitochondrial diseases to a broader spectrum of conditions associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. As research into aging mechanisms has deepened, it has become clear that mitochondrial dysfunction is closely linked to the aging process. Accumulation of mitochondrial damage can lead to disrupted cellular energy metabolism, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and accelerated apoptosis, collectively driving organismal aging.

Mitochondrial medicine, through advanced approaches such as precise regulation of mitochondrial physiological functions, restoration of mitochondria-nucleus communication, and promotion of mitochondrial biogenesis, aims to delay aging and treat aging-related diseases. It may improve the quality of life for populations with diverse anti-aging needs and extend healthy lifespan. In the vast blue ocean of the anti-aging market, mitochondrial medicine is demonstrating significant development potential, driven by its innovative diagnostic and therapeutic concepts and outstanding clinical applications, attracting the attention of global research institutions, healthcare companies, and investors, and emerging as one of the most promising future tracks in the health sector.

Among various research directions, mitochondrial drug development is progressing rapidly and is highly representative of the field. In recent years, targeting NAD metabolism has become a hallmark of mitochondrial drug research and has received widespread attention. From preclinical research to clinical translation, targeting NAD metabolism has shown enormous potential in delaying aging and treating aging-related diseases. Meanwhile, the scope of mitochondrial medicine research continues to expand, evolving from drug development alone to the construction of a full-cycle service ecosystem encompassing diagnosis, treatment, and health management. Through these efforts, mitochondrial medicine is gradually establishing a comprehensive scientific intervention system for healthy lifespan, providing novel solutions for humanity's pursuit of youth and wellness, and guiding the anti-aging industry toward a more scientific, precise, and efficient future.

Mitochondrial Medicine Industry Overview

Mitochondria are essential for cellular energy production and many vital processes, including fatty acid metabolism and calcium homeostasis. NAD, a key molecule in mitochondrial function, declines with age, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and contributing to diseases like cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders.

Mitochondrial medicine is an emerging interdisciplinary field focused on advancing disease diagnosis, prevention, and treatment by uncovering how mitochondrial physiology and dysfunction contribute to the onset and progression of illness. Many human diseases are now recognized to involve compromised mitochondrial health-whether as the direct result of primary mitochondrial defects or as secondary damage arising during disease development. This strong association places mitochondrial medicine at the forefront of predictive, preventive, and personalized healthcare, supporting a transition from reactive medical practice to approaches centered on risk assessment, targeted prevention, and individualized therapies.

Key technologies in mitochondrial medicine continue to make breakthroughs, including mitochondrial isolation and purification, genetic testing, multi-omics technologies, biomarker detection, gene therapy, and cell therapy. These technologies provide crucial support for research on mitochondrial function, as well as for the diagnosis and treatment of mitochondrial diseases.

Current Landscape of Mitochondrial Medicine

- The Impact of Population Aging on Mitochondrial Medicine

The growing aging population is a major driver of demand for mitochondrial medicine. Both globally and in China, population structures are undergoing profound shifts, with declining birth rates and population aging becoming irreversible long-term trends. Simply extending lifespan is no longer sufficient to meet societal needs. People's health perceptions are shifting from the pursuit of "living longer" to the pursuit of "living better." Increasingly, the focus is not on the length of life itself, but on how to maintain physical function, cognitive ability, and quality of life over a longer period of time. Mitochondrial medicine, which enables early assessment and precise intervention by targeting the cell's energy factories and core aging mechanisms, has emerged as a key approach to promoting healthy aging, driving sustained growth in market demand.
