Thank You for Joining WMS Webinar: A Special Thanks to Prof. Howy Jacobs
The World Mitochondria Society sincerely thanks you for attending our webinar with Professor Howy Jacobs from Tampere University, Finland. We are especially grateful to Prof. Jacobs for sharing his groundbreaking insights into mitochondrial thermoregulation and its impact on cell biology, evolution, and disease. His presentation has opened new perspectives and challenges our understanding of mitochondrial function.
A special thank you to Prof. Jacobs for his invaluable contribution, and to all participants for being part of this important discussion. We look forward to continuing this exciting journey together!
Dr. Marvin Edeas, Université de Paris, INSERM U1016 Institut Cochin, and Founder of the World Mitochondria Society, shared his thoughts following the webinar:
"After listening to the excellent webinar of Professor Howy Jacobs on mitochondrial thermoregulation, it becomes clear that we must re-evaluate our current understanding of mitochondrial biology. For years, therapeutic strategies have been developed based on the premise that mitochondria operate at typical body temperature (~37°C).
However, if mitochondria actually function closer to 50°C, as you suggest, this changes how we should approach the design and delivery of mitochondria-targeted compounds.
If we fail to adapt our strategies to these new insights, we risk overlooking the true therapeutic power of the mitochondria.
Prof. Jacobs opened a new fascinating door to the world of mitochondria."
