Abstract

Well-developed mitochondria-targeted nanocarriers for function regulation are highly desirable. Numerous studies have been conducted on the treatment of mitochondria-related diseases; however, further improvements are required to develop more effective drug delivery methods. Herein, we comprehensively introduce recent developments progress in rational design of mitochondria-targeted nanocarriers, and discuss the different strategies of available nanocarriers for targeting mitochondria. We also highlight the advantages and disadvantages of various carrier systems that are currently in use. Finally, perspective on new generation for mitochondria-targeted delivery systems in the emerging area of drug-based therapeutics is also discussed.
