Mitochondrial ROS mediated signaling pathways: activation and regulation upon inflammation

Andrey KozlovDr. Andrey V. Kozlov from Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Experimental and Clinical Traumatology (Vienna, Austria) will talk at the 8th Targeting Mitochondria World congress on “Mitochondrial ROS mediated signaling pathways: activation and regulation upon inflammation”.

“In the past, reactive oxygen species (ROS) were considered as side products of cellular metabolism causing oxidative damage to diverse biomolecules and biomembranes. More recently ROS have been discovered as an important component of intracellular signaling cascades. Moreover, recent reports suggest that mitochondrial ROS are the most critical ROS in the activation of specific intracellular signaling cascades. The analysis of diseases associated with inflammation suggests that the activation of mitochondrial ROS mediated signaling cascades can be deleterious causing organ dysfunction.”
