Mitochondrial health is an indicator of overall cell health
Healthy mitochondria exhibit a difference in electrical potential across the lipid bilayer that surrounds them, and some fluorescent dyes will accumulate inside mitochondria as long as this potential difference is maintained.

Mitochondrial Labeling | Thermo Fisher Scientific - DE
Mitochondrial health is an indicator of overall cell health, and the mitochondrial label TMRM can be used to evaluate mitochondrial health.

Or, more parasitic...like a theft of light energy! The mitochondria need the lipid bilayer to be highly charged. Something is stopping that from happening. Crystalization???
Laser-induced crystallization of anodic TiO2 nanotube layers - RSC Advances (RSC Publishing)
In this study, crystallization of amorphous TiO2 nanotube (TNT) layers upon optimized laser annealing is shown. The resulting anatase TNT layers do not show any signs of deformation or melting. The crystallinity of the laser annealed TNT layers was investigated using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectro..
