Mitochondria Devices: New Methods to Detect Mitochondria Dysfunction

https://targeting-mitochondria.com/images/2020/speakers/Mitochondria-Speakers-Naig-Gueguen-v3.jpgDr. Naïg Gueguen from  MitoVasc Institute, Angers University Hospital Center, France will give a presentation entitled "Mitochondria Devices: New Methods to Detect Mitochondria Dysfunction" during the Targeting Mitochondria 2020 Congress which will be organized virtually, on October 29-30, 2020.

Summary of the presentation: Alterations in bioenergetics metabolism represent a common clue in the pathogenesis of several diseases, including metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative disease, inflammatory conditions and cancer. Progress toward deciphering the precise role of the mitochondria in disease etiology requires tools and methods that can dissect the complex interplay between multiple enzymes and oxidative pathways that act cooperatively to regenerate ATP and sustain cellular biosynthesis needs. Recent developments in respirometry, coupled to fluorometry/luminescence, allow multiplexing measurements and provide now routine analyses of a variety of processes, including metabolic rewiring, substrate supply pathways, the activities of the different respiratory chain complexes, ATP synthesis or proton leak. In this context, the choice of the relevant experimental model and design are key elements for the identification and quantification of mitochondrial dysfunctions.
