The (all)mighty condrion: Mitochondrial biology, new perspectives, meeting in London

I am happy to participate: The Novartis Foundation in collaboration with The Royal Society of Medicine and The Physiological Society will be holding a one-day meeting on the above subject at Birkbeck College, 43 Gordon Square, London WC1 on Friday 1 December 2006. The field of mitochondrial research has undergone a complete re-evaluation in recent years. It is now clear that mitochondria participate intimately in cell life and death and that they are involved not ’simply’ in the business of ATP synthesis but also in the modulation of cell signalling and as safe compartments in which potentially lethal proteins are stored.
