Mitochondria & Microbiota: Understanding the Systems That Shape Longevity
The Second World Congress on Targeting Longevity is a joint initiative of the World Mitochondria Society (WMS) and the International Society of Microbiota (ISM).
Building on previous WMS and ISM meetings, this congress invites participants to rethink longevity beyond isolated mechanisms. Aging is explored as a dynamic, interconnected biological process, shaped by continuous interactions between mitochondria, microbiota, metabolism, immunity, and stress adaptation.
By bringing together scientists and clinicians working across disciplines, the meeting aims to move beyond reductionist models and to better understand how biological systems coordinate and adapt over time in humans as well as in companion animals, including horses, dogs, and cats.
