Besides the production of ATP through cellular respiration, mitochondria play a pivotal role in other aspects of the life and death of a cell: heat production, programmed cell death, the regulation of metabolic activity, immunity, and calcium homeostasis. A number of diseases are associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, including cardiovascular, neurological, inflammatory, and metabolic disorders as well as cancer. Mitochondria therefore represent an important therapy target, and it is not surprising that a number of different treatment strategies have emerged. Approaches targeting mitochondria can be split into two opposite categories: drugs that restore mitochondrial function and drugs that trigger mitochondria-mediated cell death. Targeted drug delivery to achieve the selective accumulation of drug molecules in mitochondria is complex and involves methods such as direct drug modification or encapsulation into nanocarriers.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscalkylphospholipid analoganticancer peptide (ACP)anticancer peptidesantimicrobial peptide (AMP)antimicrobial peptidesantitumor agentsATP productionblood-brain barriercancer drug resistancecancer metabolismcardiovascular diseasecentral nervous systemcholesterolcytotoxic effectdifferentiationdiphenyleneiodoniumdrug deliveryedelfosineendothelialfluorescence lifetime imaginggene therapyheteroplasmyhost defense peptideshypoxiainflammationlipid raftLPSmalate-aspartate shuttlemedicinal chemistrymelanomametabolic drugmetabolismmitochondriamitochondria dysfunctionsmitochondria-targeted antioxidantsmitochondrial carriermitochondrial diseasemitochondrial disordersmitochondrial DNAmitochondrial gene deliverymitochondrial oncometabolitesmitochondrial permeability transition poremitochondrial ROSn/aNADPH-oxidasenanocarriersneuronoxidative stressoxoglutarate carrierpharmacological therapyplumbaginprecision medicinepredictionproliferationrandom forestreactive oxygen speciesretinal ischemiatunneling nanotubulesBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalKopecka Joannaedt1326492Kopecka JoannaothBOOK9910576881503321Mitochondria-targeted drug delivery3037563UNINA
