Carbon Monoxide Targeting Mitochondria
MITOCHONDRIA PRESENT TWO KEY ROLES ON CELLULAR FUNCTIONING: (i) cell metabolism, being the main cellular source of energy and (ii) modulation of cell death, by mitochondrial membrane permeabilization. Carbon monoxide (CO) is an endogenously produced gaseoustransmitter, which presents several biological functions and is involved in maintaining cell homeostasis and cytoprotection. Herein, mitocho...
متن کاملMitochondria-targeting particles.
Mitochondria are a promising therapeutic target for the detection, prevention and treatment of various human diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, ischemia-reperfusion injury, diabetes and obesity. To reach mitochondria, therapeutic molecules need to not only gain access to specific organs, but also to overcome multiple barriers such as the cell membrane and the outer and inner m...
متن کاملStroke Neuroprotection: Targeting Mitochondria
Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death and the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Blood flow deficit results in an expanding infarct core with a time-sensitive peri-infarct penumbra that is considered salvageable and is the primary target for treatment strategies. The only current FDA-approved drug for treating ischemic stroke is recombinant tissue plasminogen acti...
متن کاملAdvancing theranostics with tumor-targeting peptides for precision otolaryngology
Worldwide, about 600,000 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are detected annually, many of which involve high risk human papilloma virus (HPV). Surgery is the primary and desired first treatment option. Following surgery, the existence of cancer cells at the surgical margin is strongly associated with eventual recurrence of cancer and a poor outcome. Despite improved surgical methods...
متن کاملTargeting mitochondria in fighting cancer.
During the last years, there have been a number of reports that prove involvement of mitochondria in the pathogenesis of variety of disorders including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Alteration of vital mitochondrial functions - production of ATP, calcium buffering capacity, abnormal production of reactive oxygen species, can be potentially responsible for pathogenesis of cancer and neu...
