Cellular organelles form an interconnected and dynamic network that orchestrates cellular functions. Using a multispectral imaging and computational analysis approach (‘OrgaPlexing’), a study now identifies multi-organelle units as crucial regulators of metabolic reprogramming in primary macrophages upon inflammatory stimuli.
