Women lose >90% of their #eggs by their mid-30s, with persistent #DNADamage driving this loss. But why isn’t this damage repaired? Our new work in @CurrentBiology, led by @ninadini_sharma, reveals the causes of high DNA damage in aged oocytes.🧬💥 bit.ly/48e35Ee (1/13)

It was purchased from @BiologicModels they have a website with lots more on it. I think they are based in Ontario but not sure.

Lots of fun was had today by students in my 4th year #Virology course with these amazing virion structures from @BiologicModels Thanks @UWaterloo Science Endowment Fund (WatSEF) for enabling us to hold these in our hands and discuss them in the context of what we learn in class.

Max Perutz was born #OTD in 1914. He was one of the first scientists to determine a protein structure by solving the structure of haemoglobin. He shared the 1962 @NobelPrize in Chemistry with John Kendrew. View the structure in 3D at PDBe.org/1fdh/3d

I keep going on about it, but it just works so ludicrously well. If you have control over the generation of your secondary structure cartoons, you can do sneaky little reveals like this one 🙈🙉 #MolecularNodes #GeometryNodes #Blender3d

✅ Compute Hydrogen bond networks ✅ Implement SS detection algorithm ✅ Generate completely customisable cartoon mesh, controllable by the user using fields A little more testing is needed, but secondary structures are coming to #MolecularNodes soon! #GeometryNodes #blender3d

After trying on and off for almost a year, I have FINALLY got secondary structure cartoons for proteins working inside of #blender3d and #GeometryNodes. Need to test on beta-sheets, then it should make its way to #MolecularNodes pretty soon!

Cryo-EM helps researchers see the inner workings of cells at near atomic resolution. But it can only reach its true potential with the right data processing methods. @Marin_van_Heel was one of the first developers of some of these methods & continues #ImagingTheFuture today

Today is the 75th annual World Heath Day, and what better way for us to celebrate than to share our "The Inner Life of the Cell" medical animations. View the full animation here: xvivo.com/examples/the-inner…

Ever wanted to show your EM density maps, as actual densities? Spent the weekend polishing the import of .map files, ready for release in a couple of days with #blend3d 3.5 release #MolecularNodes #GeometryNodes
