Cover: Viable mitochondria labeled with the membrane potential-sensitive dye MitoTracker Orange CMTMRos (red) in an ischemic region 2 h after injection. The heart was then fixed, paraffin-embedded, sectioned, and stained with MitoFluor Green (for total mitochondria; green) and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (nuclei; blue).
