Human Mammary Stem-Like Cell Apportions Aged Mitochondria Asymmetrically between Daughter Cells

Caption

Human mammary stem-like cell apportions aged mitochondria asymmetrically between daughter cells. Mitochondria were labeled age-selectively red 51 hours prior to imaging, leaving mitochondria that are younger unlabelled. The daughter cell that will become the new stem cell (bottom left) receives only few old mitochondria.
