Exciting new paper from my colleague @deglushk.bsky.social in the @becklab.bsky.social! It introduces a fast, robust tool for measuring membrane thickness in tomograms #TeamTomo.
Just published! We share an open-source workflow to measure membrane thickness from tomograms, including a tutorial with 3D visualizations. We analyze thickness variations across organelles and reflect on where to define a membrane boundary. @becklab.bsky.social #teamtomo rupress.org/jcb/article/...

In a great collaboration with @hummerlab.bsky.social and the Kräusslich lab: HIV capsid doesn't break at the NPC; instead, it cracks open the NPC itself! Details in Cell: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... @mpibp.bsky.social @uniheidelberg.bsky.social A thread below:

Exciting times in HIV research and prevention! HIV capsid is a great drug target because it's not just a protective shell for the viral genome but also a key facilitator for HIV entering the nucleus via the nuclear pore (NPC).
Science’s 2024 Breakthrough of the Year is lenacapavir, an injectable drug that demonstrated remarkable success at preventing HIV infection with one shot every 6 months.
