Description

Lipid droplets partially enveloped by mitochondria in the interstices between cardiac myofibrils reveal a metabolic partnership that can serve as an alternative energy source for muscle. Figures 255 and 256 from Chapter 7 (Mitochondria) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
