Microbiota & Mitochondria: Strategic Regulators of Longevity
The Second World Congress on Targeting Longevity is a collaborative project hosted by the World Mitochondria Society (WMS) and the International Society of Microbiota (ISM). Building on the successes of past WMS and ISM conferences, the aim is to explore the crucial roles of mitochondria, microbiota, and redox in the sophisticated field of aging and longevity among humans and animals, especially horses, dogs and cats.
