This volume features the proceedings of the In the 6th Asian Society for Mitchondrial Research and Medicine and highlights recent advances in mitochondria research. The contributions focus on mitochondrial research in translational medicine and cover virtually every aspect of mitochondrial dynamics, mitochondrial function and dysfunction, free radical biology related to mitochondrial dysfunction, cell apoptosis and autophagy, and disease mechanisms associated with aging, neurodegeneration, mitochondrial disease, metabolic disease, and cancer. NOTE: Annals volumes are available for sale as individual books or as a journal.
