MiP2014: Mitochondrial Physiology - a Point/Counterpoint Meeting
The Mitochondrial Physiology Society, Obergurgl, Tyrol, Austria. 2014-Sep-08 to 12
Programme structure
In each of the 12 sessions a point/counterpoint introduction will be given by invited keynote speakers to provide a balanced overview and promote discussions. Short oral presentations are selected from abstracts, including student presentations. Rapid platform statements will introduce posters which contribute to a specific session. Posters are up throughout the meeting, and poster discussions are integrated into the platform sessions.
A. Mitochondrial respiratory control
- A1. mtDNA, mt-phenotype and disease β is there biochemical and molecular-genetic evidence to explain observed associations?
- A2. Fission and fusion, mitochondrial structure and function - is there a tight connection?
- A3. Mitochondrial density and normalization of respiration β is there a general biochemical or molecular marker?
- A4. Biochemical reserve capacity, respiratory control ratios and coupling efficiency β are conventional concepts inconsistent?
B. Experimental protocols in mitochondrial biochemistry
- B1. Incubation media for mt-preparations and experimental temperature in functional studies of mammalian mitochondria β guided by concept or merely tradition?
- B2. Intracellular oxygen pressure versus oxygen regimes in studies of ROS production and respiration - are mitochondria sources or sinks of ROS?
- B3. Quantitative measurement of mt-membrane potential - potentiometric/fluorometric.
- B4. Instrumental platforms in mitochondrial physiology β industrial presentations.
C. Towards quality assurance
- C1. Do blood cells versus muscle biopsies provide valid models for diagnosis of mitochondrial pathologies?
- C2. Integrity of mitochondrial preparations β is a consensus possible on quality control criteria?
- C3. Availability and quality control of chemicals used in mitochondrial research β who controls?
- C4. Standards for the diagnosis of mitochondrial pathologies β a challenge for collaboration with mitochondrial organizations?
Particularly in view of Subtopic C, it may be attractive for mitochondrial organizations to send and support delegates. The conference will, therefore, provide a unique forum for international networking, and may inspire new national groups to be formed in contact with established mitochondrial organizations:

International programme committee
The international programme committee will provide scientific input by active participation, nominate further invited speakers to ensure balanced point/counterpoint introductions, and select the abstracts as a basis for participation (restricted number of participants), for oral short presentations, and for flash presentations.
