Mitochondrial gene replacement in primate offspring and embryonic stem cells

mitochondria_dna

Researchers at the Oregon National Primate Research Center have successfully replaced damaged and diseased mitochondria (and, likewise, their mtDNA) with healthy mitochondria with no apparent side effects in Macaca mulatta. This has strong implications for future treatment and prevention of mitochondrial DNA associated diseases.

    Hello,

    I am a PhD student and currently developing the homepage for my lab. I was thinking to put this Mitochondrial DNA picture on the homepage but not sure whom to contact regarding the copyright issues.

    Your kind help is highly appreciated. I need to know if the image has a copyright and if yes then whom to contact to seek permission for using it on homepage.

    Thanks,
    Priyanka Maiti
