Check out our preprint! With new molecular mechanisms, 140 subtomogram averages, and ~600 annotated cells under different conditions, we @embl.org were able to describe bacterial populations with in-cell #cryoET. And there’s a surprise at the end 🕵️

Really excellent work by the bluesky-less Marie and Sara +coauthors in our lab @embl.org! Check it out for cool combinations of light microscopy and #cryoET, and if you're interested in how yeasts reorganize structurally in response to stressors. #teamtomo

My PhD paper is in press @cellpress.bsky.social and now online: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...!

Contents: weird #NPCs in yeast and flies, #CLEM, in situ #cryoET and more!

Made possible by the amazing @becklab.bsky.social team at @mpibp.bsky.social and collaborators! #TeamTomo
The small GTPase Ran defines nuclear pore complex asymmetry
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) bridge across the nuclear envelope and mediate nucleocytoplasmic exchange. They consist of hundreds of nucleoporin build…

New paper from my colleague Soheil in the Mahamid and @jonasries.bsky.social groups looking at factors influencing laser devitrification on frozen #cryoem samples. With a far-red fluorophore, all-gold support grids will be especially good for correlative cryo-SMLM and EM!

Are you into cryo-ET, in-cell discovery, protein translocation and folding or just cool integration of structural biology, proteomics and bioinformatics? Then see our new work:
