Special | 54m 34sVideo has Closed Captions

Families and Akron Children's Hospital staff help to educate about mitochondrial disease.

This Western Reserve Public Media production discusses mitochondrial disease, which results from failure of mitochondria — the power producers of a body’s cells. When mitochondria fail, cell injury and even cell death can occur. Akron Children’s Hospital professionals offer background information and two Ohio families share their stories about loved ones who had the disease.
