This study identifies a fibroblast-specific mitochondrial phenotype caused by phototoxicity from red fluorescent dyes during live cell imaging.

The paper identifies ITPRIPL2 as a novel protein involved in mitochondrial dynamics through computational interaction analysis and shows its role in vimentin-associated intermediate filament structure.

This study shows that reducing Tfam in zebrafish embryos decreases mtDNA copy numbers, causes OXPHOS deficiency, and leads to developmental abnormalities.
