A new talk of Targeting Mitochondria 2013: Carbon Nanotubes for Mitochondrial Targeting
During Targeting Mitochondria 2013, Dr Alessia Battigelli from CNRS Strasbourg, France will talk about Carbon Nanotubes for Mitochondrial Targeting.
The first 3D disease map of mitochondrial protein will be presented by Dr R. Lloyd during Targeting Mitochondria 2013
Dr Rhiannon Lloyd from the Institute of Biomedical and Biomolecular Sciences, University of Portsmouth, UK, will present a talk on her recent work using 3D structural analysis of mitochondrial mutations to predict their pathological outcome. The study is a result of collaboration between Dr Lloyd, a mitochondrial biologist, and Dr John McGeehan, a structural biologist.
Redox Signaling Pathways Modulation and Mitochondria: Hot Topic to be discussed during Targeting Mitochondria 2013
During ISANH Congress on Antioxidants organized in Paris on July 3-4, 2013 (www.isanh.fr), which celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the creation of ISANH, one of the main discussion showed that antioxidants play their role by modulating redox signaling pathways and not a counter "balance" to oxidant formation. They act to modulate cells signaling domains in which redox signaling occurs.
Mitochondria are a localized signlaing domain and ROS (Superoxidase and Hydrogen Peroxidase) generated by respiratory chain are signaling molecules.
Mitochondrial Uncoupling Proteins and its Role in Cancer will be highlighted by Pr Keshav Singh
