It’s been a big week for the Grotjahn Lab—our very first graduate student, @mmedina300kv.bsky.social, successfully defended her PhD thesis! 🎉 So proud of everything she’s accomplished and grateful for the light she’s brought to our lab from day one ☀️⚡

You want to start tomography? Solve structures inside cells? Reach Nyquist 😳 ? @phaips.vd.st and I have a website for you! tomoguide.github.io
You'll find a tutorial on how to reconstruct tomograms, pick particles and do subtomogram averaging, using different software!
Hope it will be useful !

🚨New preprint!🚨 #teamtomo
We expanded Surface Morphometrics to quantify membrane thickness from cryo-ET—revealing local variation across organelles.

Led by the lab’s first grad student, @mmedina300kv.bsky.social (defending Monday! 🍾) w/ @attychang.bsky.social @hamid13r.bsky.social & @tomo.science

To all #ChlamyDataset enthusiasts, here is a script that lets you directly import the pre-processed results from EMPIAR-11830 into #RELION v5 for subtomogram averaging:

We have updated our #MemBrain v2 preprint with a lot more details about the MemBrain-pick and MemBrain-stats modules, as well as some application examples!

Stay tuned for the upcoming thread by lead author @lorenzlamm.bsky.social! 🧠🧵

Figure 4. MemBrain v2 end-to-end workflow detects periodic phycobilisome organization. A: Raw tomogram slice of EMD-31244. B: Out-of-the-box MemBrain-seg segmentation (light blue). C: A single membrane instance can be visualized in Surforama and manually annotated with GT phycobilisome positions (magenta). D: MemBrain-pick localizes particles (trained with data from C) on all membranes in the tomogram. E: MemBrain-stats computes Ripley’s O statistic using the positions from D with a bin size of 5nm. The distance between peaks (35 nm) was measured to estimate chain unit spacings.

Feeling so honored and thrilled to see our work make it to the cover—what a milestone in my career! I can’t wait to receive the poster from JCB🤩

Happy to share the first paper in my PhD is published in JCB!
It's my honor to work with amazing teammates! I really enjoy exploring mitochondrial protein import mechanism through cryo-ET!

Cytoplasmic #ribosomes on #mitochondria alter the local membrane environment for protein import, say Ya-Ting Chang, Danielle Grotjahn (@nanigrotjahn.bsky.social) @scripps.edu and colleagues: rupress.org/jcb/article/...
