The results show that, in order to achieve its overarching objective, an exercise must fulfill a wide range of “functions”, which in turn can take various kinds of “forms” or actual representations in the physical world. The paper discusses a number of identified required functions of a SimEx, sometimes labeled as design elements, and furthermore elaborates on differences and specific requirements at form level, e.g., virtual vs. physical exercises.

These fungi namely viz., Wiesneriomyces laurinus Kirk, Flabellospora multiradiata Nawawi, Isthmotricladia gombakiensis Nawawi, Triscelophorus acuminatus Nawawi, Flabellospora acuminata Descals and Webster, Sporidesmium leonense M.B. Ellis, Acrodictys globulosa Toth M.B. Ellis, and Acladium phoenicis Ramachar are being reported for the first time from central India. Brief notes and illustrations are also provided along with geographical distributions of these fungi in India.

In this present review we will elaborate the role of mitochondria in human disease, cell specific ligands, mitochondriotropic molecules and their utilization in construction of such cell selective and mitochondria specific delivery systems that will make mitochondrial medicine practically possible.
