Delighted to see our work in press! 🙌🔬🧠

Thanks to @glynnca.bsky.social, @michaelgrange.bsky.social and the rest of the fabulous co-authors for all your contributions.

Excited to see where in tissue structural cell biology goes next 👀!

Proud to share our latest paper. doi.org/10.1016/j.cr...

Through the dedication of @glynnca.bsky.social and @cryingem.bsky.social we report a thorough method to image molecular organisation within hippocampus tissue.

Structural biology in tissue is well and truly here!

A rationally designed 2C inhibitor prevents enterovirus D68-infected mice from developing paralysis - Nature Communications
There are no vaccines or antivirals available against enterovirus D68. Here, the authors report Jun6504 as a 2C inhibitor and show that it provides broad-spectrum antiviral activity against EV-D68, EV...

structure prediction is not science if not experimentally validated. period
Predicted structures from the AFDB are poor substitutes for experimental structures when training inverse folding NNs. Here, authors show that this is because they are "too perfect", and passing them through a custom-trained AFDB-to-PDB NN helps fix this
