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/…

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!

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…
On my way to #tomo2022! So much looking forward to it! I can't wait to meet old friends and make new ones with those I only know by name from papers or twitter! So many awesome developments! First,  I have to bicycle to catch my train to be on time for the 1st session in 5 hrs.

No motion correction was applied yet. We further demonstrate effects of the probe size and much more. Manuscript: doi.org/10.1038/s41592-022-0… Raw data on EMPIAR will be available very soon e.g. EMPIAR-11034 4/4
