The article states that simple ingestion of cardiolipin (Diphosphatidylglycerol) restored mitochondrial function. Was this only because they were altered mice, or might this work in people?

They were worms not mice. And they were mutants as well, thus this only showed that cardiolipin is necessary for proper mito operation, something already known. The discovery was of apparent crosstalk between mitochondria and lysosomes, where mitochondria go to die. There is already known communication via the pink/parkin pathway, which tells lysosomes when to eat mitochondria.
