The 4th edition of Targeting Mitochondria World Congress was a huge success
Targeting Mitochondria 2013 was a huge success. More than 140 attendees coming from France, Spain, italy, UK, Japan, Denmark, USA, Switzerland... and working for industries and academies gathered in Berlin last October 17-18, 2013.
More than 30 speakers discussed about the recent advances in researches about mitochondria, devices and clinical studies.
The abstracts book of the conference is now available. If you want to order it, please contact us: https://targeting-mitochondria.com/contact-us
Cutaneous respirometry in healthy volunteers: a novel technique for monitoring mitochondrial function awarded by Targeting Mitochondria Scientific Committee
Dr Floor Harms, from Department of Anesthesiology, Laboratory of Experimental Anesthesiology, Erasmus MC – University Medical Center Rotterdam, The Netherlands was awarded by Scientific Committee of Targeting Mitochondria 2013, for her researches about Cutaneous respirometry in healthy volunteers: a novel technique for monitoring mitochondrial function.
Microbiota & Mitochondria: The Intriguing Relationship
Microbiota & Mitochondria: A Promising Target
The scientific committee will discuss the axes of the next upcoming Targeting Mitochondria World Congress 2014. One of the strategic axes will be Modulation Diversity & Variety of Microbiota by Mitochondria.
Viral Hepatitis and Mitochondrial Dynamics will be highlighted by Pr Aleem Siddiqui
Pr Aleem Siddiqui, from Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA, will highlight the relation between Viral Hepatitis and Mitochondrial Dynamics during Targeting Mitochondria World Congress 2014.
Targeting Mitochondria World Congress 2014 is already a Huge Success
For this new edition of Targeting Mitochondria World Congress, Hotel Ritz Carlton will open its door from October 29 to 31, 2014 to gather more than 400 participants for three days coming from all around the world.

Stem cells overcome damage in other cells by exporting mitochondria
The scientific committee invited Dr. Anurag Agrawa to present his excellent work.
He identified a protein that increases the transfer of mitochondria from mesenchymal stem cells to lung cells. In work published in The EMBO Journal, the researchers reveal that the delivery of mitochondria to human lung cells can rejuvenate damaged cells.
The migration of mitochondria from stem cells to epithelial cells also helps to repair tissue damage and inflammation linked to asthma-like symptoms in mice.
Do mitochondria care about insulin resistance?
Dr. Chrysi Koliaki will present her last studies published in Molecular Metabolism.
In the last issue of Molecular Metabolism, Dr. Chrysi Koliaki addressed the intensively debated term “mitochondrial dysfunction” in the context of insulin resistance using a comprehensive cell-autonomous approach, which allowed constant substrate delivery to distinct insulin-sensitive cell types circumventing confounding effects of in vivo inter-tissue crosstalk.
