Schematic image of mitochondrial activation in CPC by RP/S2-MITO-Porter. The MITO-Porter (S2 peptide & RP aptamer dual ligand system) could be taken up by the cells (1st step), followed by mitochondrial targeting and a membrane fusion process with mitochondria membrane (2nd step). Finally, mitochondria are activated by mitochondrial delivery of RES to construct MITO-cells. Chol-RP cholesteryl RP aptamer, DOPE dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidyl ethanolamine, RES resveratrol, SM sphingomyelin, STR-S2 stearylated S2 peptide.
