Biodefense by Protecting Mitochondria

Abstract

Nuclear weaponry was and remains the most significant threat to public health during war. However, during these times of covert terrorist attacks, a new and potentially deadly form of warfare is coming to light. As modern science has progressed, the affordability of producing chemical and biological agents on mass scale has made them an attractive mode of attack and it is now of paramount importance to devise ways that can limit the dangers posed by these agents.
