Scientists Made Mice Glow in the Dark to Study Mitochondria – Futurism

Powerhouse
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell but if something dampers their output, it can be difficult to determine why. To better investigate mitochondrial function, a team of researchers from Switzerlands Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne developed a method to make mice glow in the dark, like fireflies. Their work was published today in the journal Nature Chemical Biology.
Cell Walls
Like cells themselves, mitochondria have a membrane that filters materials entering and e…
