Tetracycline antibiotics impair mitochondrial function and its experimental use confounds research

Tetracyclines, a class of antibiotics that target bacterial translation, are commonly used in research for inducible gene expression using Tet-ON/Tet-OFF systems. However, such tetracycline-inducible systems carry a risk. Given that mitochondria have a “bacterial” ancestry, these antibiotics also ta...
