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 dysfunction modifies stem cell function: A hot Topic of Targeting Mitochondria 2013
Integrity of mitochondrial genome is essential for proper function of stem cells. It is the hot topic presented by Riikka Hamalainen, from University of Helsinki, Finland during the next World Congress on Targeting Mitochondria 2013.Dr Laurent Chatre, from Pasteur Institute, Paris will present a Novel Imaging Tool to Diagnose in situ Mitochondrial DNA Processing Dysfunction during next Targeting Mitochondria World Congress
To date, mitochondrial transcripts and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication dynamics at the single-cell level were poorly informative of mitochondrial dysfunction.
Pr Douglas Wallace: Key speaker of Targeting Mitochondria 2013
