Mitochondrial Toxicity can be Assessed by Measuring Mitochondrial Membrane Potentials at Single Cell Level

Biological responses of individual cells to carcinogen and toxic chemicals may vary due to sub-cellular heterogeneity or biological state of individual cells.Mitochondrial membrane potentials of individual cells vary, therefore mitochondrial toxicity should be assessed at single-cell level in real-time and living cell conditions to better understand mitochondrial heterogeneity.
