The wire
- 01Researchers report that the mitochondrial-derived peptide MOTS-c shields retinal blood vessels from damage associated with diabetes.
- 02MOTS-c is tracked closely by readers following mitochondrial and longevity peptides, and diabetic retinopathy would be a new indication direction for it.
- 03The report is preclinical; dose, model and endpoint details should be read in the underlying paper before drawing any clinical inference.
