Abstract
INTRODUCTION The first workshop on “Mitochondrial Dynamics in Cell Life and Death,” sponsored by the Federation of European Biochemical Societies and the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, took place in August 2005 at the Venetian Institute of Molecular Medicine in Padova, Italy. The meeting was dedicated to the memory of Stanley J Korsmeyer, one of the leading scientists in apoptosis research, who died in March 2005. Meeting organizer Luca Scorrano and his scientific committee set up an interesting programme in which key researchers in the biology of mitochondrial dynamics presented novel insights and intriguing data. It was the first forum of this kind that allowed scientists to meet and discuss the molecular mechanisms that regulate mitochondrial morphology and their importance in pathophysiological processes. In this meeting report, I will summarize some of the contributions that dealt with aspects of mitochondrial dynamics that relate to degenerative processes like apoptosis and ageing.
