This feels like an era is over. I still remember that he once said that to be a good scientist, you have to be immersed in science unconditionally. You discuss about science at picnics and parties, and you marry a scientist.

🚀 Fast track your #HPV therapeutics with #cryoTEM imaging. From initial characterization to 3D structures, we support you throughout the entire pipeline, including regulatory submissions.

🧪 Want the proof? See our published work on Gardasil®: www.nanoimagingservices.com/resources/ho...

Our aim was to create a kit to produce in-house 1.2 holey carbon cryoEM grids, in three simple steps, at less than half of the prize, and without due times. I think we are there. Academic teams that want to know more, receive training or order a kit, please contact grids@puxano.com.

The program for our Mini-Symposium on September 23 is now finalized and the registration deadline has been extended to September 5!

Poster slots are still available!

c-di-GMP-Dependent Regulation of Motility by comFB and comFC

bioRxiv from Dave Dubnau

"absence of ComFC, swarming is completely abrogated by a mechanism that requires FB... a new c-di-GMP regulatory system that controls motility independently of MotI"

Coming out in @NaturePlants today (rdcu.be/eBScJ): The mechanism for essential amino acid transport across the chloroplast envelope. We identified RETICULATA1 (RE1) as a new type of transport protein. #PlantScience #AminoAcidTransport #Chloroplasts. @franzikuhnert.bsky.social @weberlab.bsky.social

Are you new to #CryoEM, or looking for a review of the basics?

You might enjoy our TRPV1 case study! It covers preprocessing, particle curation, refinement, and more! You can also test your skills with the advanced exercises at the end of the study.
