Figure 5. Variable mitochondrial localisation during lineage specific differentiation.

Figure 5

(a) Mitochondria in hESC are localised near the nucleus. (b) Mitochondria in AFP positive endoderm lineage cells. Mitochondria in AFP positive cells display a granular, dispersed localisation through the whole cell. (c and d) Mitochondria in MIXL1 positive cells (Mesendoderm) display a densely packed, perinuclear localisation based on MitoTracker far red (c) and LDS-751 (d) staining. AFP, alpha fetoprotein. Images (a-c) are 150 µm wide. Line profile in (d) represents 120 µm.
