Mitochondria - small but mighty? In three short presentations, Yulia Schaumkessel, Alexander Becker, Chantal Wenzel and Michelle Westerhoff from Düsseldorf University Hospital will shed light on the important role of the mitochondria as the "powerhouse" of our cells. They will first give an introduction and explain why we could not exist without mitochondria. The second lecture will focus on the use of stem cell research to investigate diseased mitochondria. Finally, there will be an insight into mitochondria as a linchpin in cancer therapy.
