SUMMARY:Frontiers of Science: Why are diseases tissue-specific? Lessons fro
 m mitochondrial diseases
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Anu Wartiovaara\, University of Helsinki\, Finland\n\nhos
 t: Eeva-Liisa Eskelinen (eeva-liisa.eskelinen@utu.fi)\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nMitoch
 ondrial dysfunction has shown out to be a common cause of human inherited 
 disease\, with amazing clinical variability\, from neonatal fatal multisys
 tem disorders to diabetes\, neurodegeneration\, dysfertility or tumorigene
 sis of adult age. Mitochondrial disorders show a wide variation in individ
 ual disease severity and progression. Up to date\, only few therapy option
 s are available to a limited number of patients. Wartiovaara research grou
 p focuses in clarifying the molecular basis of mitochondrial disorders\, w
 ith a special emphasis on neurodegeneration. The group searches for diseas
 e genes in human sample materials\, characterizes disease phenotypes and s
 ets up DNA-based diagnosis\, creates disease models based on identified ge
 ne defects and utilizes these models to study molecular pathogenesis and t
 o test potential treatments. The specific focus is the disorders involving
  mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nGenral info regardin
 g the Frontiers of Science eTALKs\n\n 	Registration is obligatory and link
 s to register to all Frontiers of Science Autumn 2020 seminars are availab
 le in BioCity Turku webpage (https://biocityturku.fi/biocityevents/frontie
 rs-of-science-seminars/programme-autumn-2020/) and in our news feed.\n 	Re
 gistration closes two days before the event and link to join zoom will be 
 sent to the participants one day in advance.\n 	Microphones and cameras ne
 ed to be turned off during the presentation\, but the audience is welcome 
 to ask questions after the talk\, preferably with video turned on to make 
 the discussion as interactive as possible.\n 	If you are a student and nee
 d a certificate for your attendance\, please fill in your student number w
 hen registering to the events. After the seminar season is over\, please c
