Mitochondrial Reprogramming in Oral Submucous Fibrosis
November 25, 2025 @ 18:00 – 19:00 IST
A focused session exploring how mitochondrial behavior shapes disease progression in oral submucous fibrosis — from fission–fusion dynamics to their role in myofibroblast differentiation.

Overview:
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) continues to challenge clinicians and researchers, not just because of its chronic, progressive nature but because of the complex cellular reprogramming that drives it. Among the most critical players in this transformation are the mitochondria — the engines of cellular metabolism and resilience.
In this session, Dr. Karishma Desai will take participants inside the mitochondrial changes that influence fibroblast behavior in OSF. The discussion will highlight how shifts in mitochondrial fission–fusion balance contribute to myofibroblast differentiation, the molecular signals involved, and the investigative tools used to study these changes. The goal is to provide a sharper mechanistic understanding that can support better research, diagnosis, and potential therapeutic direction.
📅 Date: 25 November
⏰ Time: 18:00–19:00 IST
🎙 Speaker: Dr. Karishma Desai, Postdoctoral Fellow, Tokyo Dental College
📍 Format: Free interactive livestream on YouTube
🎓 Certificate: Available for channel members who attend or watch the full session
