Today visiting the Francis Crick Institute in London! An amazing place where they perform awesome electron microscopy on such a wide variety of samples!

@WimJHH, as you know Wim, in the Netherlands most are not fundamentalists: I agree with @DTegunov - it is (just) a (very good) prediction!

We optmized in situ cryoET to achieve 6 A reconstructions of mouse sperm doublets! The unique tertiary structures allow de novo protein identification of novel sperm proteins by computationally searching in the AlphaFold2 library of entire mouse proteome! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

This newly published review by eBIC staff discusses recent examples on how cryoET can be used to study membrane remodelling processes. Find the paper here: doi.org/10.1016/j.sbi.2022.1…

Hello #teamtomo! Have you loved every FIB slice, tomogram & sub volume at #tomo2020? Great news! Andrew Leis & I will be co-chairing #tomo2024 & #tomo2026! We’ll be headed ‘down under’ to Melbourne, AUS in 2024 & ‘up North’ in Madison, WI USA in 2026! #koalas & #Badgers 🐨🦡❄️🔬

This recent paper in @Dev_Cell includes Serial Block Face Imaging on a @thermosciEMSpec Apreo Volume Scope followed by segmentation and visualization in Amira Software! Great study, and congrats to the authors.
New study by Ivan Bedzohv’s team @emselor published in @Dev_Cell identifies Rap1 as a central factor for orchestrating the morphogenetic program that reshapes the epiblast. Congratulations 🎉 to the entire team on this great work!

Thanks! This first session of the conference was already so inspiring with all the tomography enthousiasts in 3D to talk to! Looking forward to catch up at a next meeting!

How does the yeast nuclear pore complex ‘punch’ a hole in the nuclear envelope to create a functional transport channel? A recent collaborative study from the @KarstenWeisLab implicates the protein Brl1 in this membrane fusion event. More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-eve…
