AbstractNon-technical Abstract: Mitochondria are important cellular organelles that play a crucial role in cellular metabolism and provide energy for the survival of the cell. The self-destruction of the cell is also a process initiated by the mitochondria. Over the years, researchers try to engineer mitochondria to modulate the survival and efficiency of cells. Some natural small molecules and synthetic chemicals are currently available to modulate mitochondrial functions. However, their applications a
