Mitochondria and Skin: Mitochondria in Wound Healing
During Targeting Mitochondria 2019, a Special session will be dedicated to Mitochondria, Metabolism and Skin.
One of the speakers of this session is Dr. Jakob Wikström from Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden and present his research work entitled "Mitochondria and Skin: Mitochondria in Wound Healing".
Dr. Jakob Wikström: "Healing of common chronic skin leg ulcers in the elderly requires ATP to regenerate lost tissue. While wound oxygen treatment has been investigated in depth the role of the oxygen recipient – mitochondria – has gotten little attention. Here we present our results on the role of mitochondria in human wound healing".
