Mitochondria, Metabolism and Redox Aging
This Mitochondria, Metabolism and Redox Aging session addresses mitochondrial dysfunction, altered energy metabolism, and redox imbalance as central features of aging. Presentations will cover mitochondrial DNA mutations, dynamics (fission/fusion), mitophagy, and bioenergetic decline across organs. The role of nutrient sensing pathways, such as mTOR, AMPK, sirtuins, and insulin/IGF signaling, in modulating lifespan and healthspan will be highlighted. Oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species signaling, and antioxidant defense mechanisms will be discussed with emphasis on current evidence and controversies. The track welcomes basic, translational, and clinical studies investigating metabolic and mitochondrial-targeted interventions, including dietary restriction mimetics, NAD+ boosters, and metabolic reprogramming strategies in aging populations.
