Caption

This image shows human osteosarcoma cells and mitochondria (green), with additional mitochondria (red) from human embryonic kidney cells transferred via the nanoblade. Very few red-labeled mitochondria are actually delivered by the nanoblade into each cell, compared to the pre-existing green mitochondria. Over a few weeks, the mitochondrial DNA in the red-labeled mitochondria will massively amplify.
