As dysfunctional mitophagy is linked to multiple human diseases, there is an urgent and important unmet need for developing reliable, reproducible, and quantitative tools to study the mechanisms and biological functions of mitophagy. Recently, Katayama and colleagues developed one such tool, named mito-SRAI, which makes it possible to precisely interpret mitophagy in living and fixed specimens.
