Chemical interventions improve the mitochondrial microenvironment but cannot restore depleted mitochondrial mass, while heterologous mitochondrial replacement remains constrained by ethical, legal, and biological limitations. This review examines the biological basis for mitochondrial intervention in oocytes, evaluates chemical and cellular therapeutic approaches, and assesses the evidence for autologous Adipose Stem Cell-derived Mitochondria ENergy Transfer (ASCENT). Mitochondria govern oocyte ATP production, calcium-mediated meiotic integrity, and redox homeostasis, and their disruption contributes to aneuploidy, fertilization failure, and embryonic arrest. Among cellular interventions, autologous adipose-derived stem cell mitochondrial transplantation offers minimally invasive tissue accessibility, morphological compatibility with oocyte mitochondria, robust membrane potential, and a preclinically validated Mito-ICSI delivery platform. Notably, ASCENT is currently the only autologous approach for which safety across three consecutive offspring generations has been reported in a mammalian model, with primary maternal origin of offspring mtDNA confirmed. Together, preclinical efficacy, transgenerational safety, and human proof-of-concept support progression toward a rigorously designed clinical trial, while ASC-derived mitochondria hold broader relevance in regenerative medicine.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cells15161438","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,10]],"date-time":"2026-08-10T15:10:24Z","timestamp":1786374624000},"page":"1438","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Adipose Stem Cell Mitochondrial Transplantation in ART: From Biological Rationale to Clinical Milestone"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Helaruwan Pasan Kumara","family":"Wijethunga Arachchilage","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Wish Fertility Hospital Pvt Ltd., 30 Elhena Rd, Maharagama 10230, Sri Lanka"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanath Udayanga","family":"Kankanam Gamage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HORAC Grand Front Osaka Clinic, 3\u22121 Ofukacho, Kita Ward, Osaka 530-0011, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Atsushi","family":"Morimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HORAC Grand Front Osaka Clinic, 3\u22121 Ofukacho, Kita Ward, Osaka 530-0011, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2834-2726","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yoshiharu","family":"Morimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HORAC Grand Front Osaka Clinic, 3\u22121 Ofukacho, Kita Ward, Osaka 530-0011, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1506","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/dem046","article-title":"International Estimates of Infertility Prevalence and Treatment-Seeking: Potential Need and Demand for Infertility Medical Care","volume":"22","author":"Boivin","year":"2007","journal-title":"Hum.
