Chair
Rachele Ciccocioppo, MD, Associate Professor in Gastroenterology, AOUI Policlinico GB Rossi & University of Verona, Italy
Speakers
Giuseppe Orlando, MD, PhD, Marie Curie Fellow, Associate Professor of Surgery, Wake Forest School of Medicine, USA
Marvin Edeas, MD, PhD, Université de Paris, Institut Cochin, INSERM U1016, France
Mitochondrial transfer is a relatively new technology mimicking a natural phenomenon through which cells replace the exhausted organelles with new, viable ones obtained from the environment. As pathological conditions are characterized also by mitochondrial dysfunction, the transfer (or transplantation) of new viable mitochondria to damaged cells, tissues or organs has shown promise to become an alternative treatment strategy to restore physiology. This session will present recent progress achieved in the field.
