Applying super-resolution microscopy to detect mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum contact sites

Membrane contact sites (MCS) are regions in the cell where the membranes of two organelles come into close proximity without fusing. Contact sites between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (MERCs) are arguably the most well-studied MCS. The study of MERCs is commonly conducted using fluorescence colocalization...
