Usage of a localised microflow device to show that mitochondrial networks are not extensive in skeletal muscle fibres.

In cells, such as neurones and immune cells, mitochondria can form dynamic and extensive networks that change over the minute timescale. In contrast, mitochondria in adult mammalian skeletal muscle fibres show little motility over several hours. Here, we use a novel three channelled microflow device...
