#teamtomo strikes again! Check out our new preprint on the enigmatic vault and its newly discovered association with membranes in situ.
It’s out! Using cryo-ET in Dicty cells, we take a fresh in situ look at vaults. Surprisingly, we uncover vaults associated with ER and NE membranes, and find that many vaults enclose ribosomes in defined orientations, opening new avenues to their cellular function! www.biorxiv.org/lookup/conte...

New paper out!

How can we force HIV genomes out of their capsid shells and what can we learn about HIV biology doing so?

Hint: capsid inhibitors actively re-route nuclear HIV complexes, and expose genomes via intriguing structural effects!

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/...

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.
