Cell Symposia: Multifaceted Mitochondria

Cell Symposia: Multifaceted Mitochondria is organized by Elsevier, Cell Press - Cell Symposia and will be held from Jun 21 - 23, 2026 at Hilton Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom.

Description:
Mitochondria are metabolic and signaling hubs involved in multi-system processes spanning from cellular bioenergetics to organismal homeostasis. Their multifaceted functions put them at the center of research efforts to better understand cellular metabolism and communication and to develop novel therapeutic approaches for a broad range of processes including cardiometabolic disorders, immune responses, aging, and cancer.

This symposium aims to reflect the variety in mitochondrial research, providing engaging and forward-looking talks on mitochondrial bioenergetics and dynamics, their mechanisms of homeostasis and stress signaling, their function in intra- and inter-cellular communication, and their role in metabolism, disease, and therapy.

We hope to bring together scientists working on these diverse topics to address the open questions of the field and advance the study of mitochondrial biology.

Themes:

• Mitochondrial biochemistry and bioenergetics
• Mitochondria homeostasis and stress response
• Mitochondrial dynamics and transfer
• Mitochondrial communication
• Mitochondria in metabolism
• Mitochondria in inflammation and disease
