This was accomplished by engineering an export sequence to direct the RNA to the mitochondrion. Once the RNA was in the vicinity of the transport machinery on the mitochondrial surface, then a second transport sequence was required to direct the RNA into the targeted organelle.

Mito-conundrum: unraveling environmental effects on mitochondria

While scientists have theorized for at least three decades that mitochondria might be the basis for aging, renewed interest has come from the growing realization that a mitochondrion is more than just a cellular furnace.

Miao et al (14) found that the mitochondrion was first shrunk and then swollen during the early and late phases of liver regeneration, which suggested that the permeability of mitochondria first decreased and then increased.

Once the mitochondrion is damaged, the cell reverts to fermentation to obtain energy, we can state that the cancer has begun.
