www.MitoWorld.org is a global mitochondria research, information and media hub which intends to be inclusive across the many mitochondria communities to promote mitochondria broadly to the public, to medicine, health advocates and education.
The first-ever conference dedicated entirely to mitochondrial DNA just wrapped up in Nashville!
From mutation mechanisms to repair strategies and cutting-edge editing techniques, it was a landmark event.
See the full recap 👇

A must-read for anyone in mitochondria research!
Journal of Cell Science has released a Special Issue on the Cell Biology of Mitochondria - articles, reviews, and expert insights covering dynamics, disease, and more!
View our summary mitoworld.org/special-issu...
Scientific American has a new (open) article by Columbia’s Martin Picard, comparing mitochondria to microprocessors.
It follows landmark pieces from July 1957 (“Powerhouse of the Cell”) and Aug 1997 (Wallace on mtDNA in aging & disease).

Could targeting mitochondria be the key to slowing aging?
We spoke to Dr Jennifer Trowbridge at The Jackson Laboratory who reveals that tweaking mitochondrial activity in blood stem cells may help prevent age-related diseases.

Can cancer hijack your immune system - #mitochondria first?
New research reveals a striking mechanism of immune evasion: cancer cells can transfer defective mitochondria into cytotoxic T cells, impairing their energy production and killing ability.

New research from Dr Craig Thompson reveals that mitochondria do more than generate energy - they form specialized subpopulations under stress, playing a key role in cancer cell survival.
Will this discovery could reshape our understanding of metabolism and disease treatment?
Thanks for sharing!

We've partnered with UMDF!
To kick off our collaboration, we're pleased to announce the launch of "BeyondTheDisease".
Each month, we will recap the latest mitochondrial research and news, along with analyzing how it could impact mitochondrial disease research.

Research teams led by Martin Picard at Columbia University and Ryan Mills at the University of Michigan have found that mtDNA fragments - known as nuclear mitochondrial DNA segments (numts) - integrate into the nuclear genome at a high rate.
We interviewed Martin Picard to learn more about Numts:

Mitochondria have long been recognized for the production of energy within cells, but recent studies demonstrate how #mitochondria produce heat as well as chemical energy.
We spoke with Howy Jacobs of Tampere University for his insights...
