@Andi_Microscopy and I structurally characterized beta cell cilia by #vEM and #UExM. It's out today in @NatureComms! We describe axoneme ultrastructural organization, as well as some novel physical contact between beta cell cilia and neurons. Link below!

After thousands of microscope hours and several years of painstaking optimisation, @glynnca93 and I are very excited to share our latest manuscript. We outline our approach to investigate the molecular organisation within hippocampus tissue using cryo-ET.

Hey #teamtomo!Our 1st❄️🔬work @humantechnopole is finally out!🥳https://t.co/Q75zt93UV4 Serialized On-grid Lift-In Sectioning for Tomography(SOLIST) enables a biopsy at the nanoscale and high-res❄️STA from🧍‍♀️organoids and🐭liver, brain and heart tissue!Thread by @PeroneGaia below!

How photosynthetic genes are transcribed 🧬🌿 I’m really pleased to share the first work from my group at @JohnInnesCentre published today in @CellCellPress: https://t.co/1GyoYtTIlg

[Philipp S. Erdmann @3P1L]

Since people like 🇮🇹 salami slicing😉: I am very happy to share with you the first work of my lab @humantechnopole: Serialized On-grid Lift-In Sectioning for Tomography - SOLIST🔬❄️If you're into cryo-ET of 🧠 organoids, look no further!
Work by Gaia Perone and Jasmien Nguyen!🎵

[Alister Burt @AlisterBurt]

Sam Lacey became one of my favourite scientists this morning - absolutely incredible work on IFT trains with @GaiaPigino @humantechnopole and a beautifully clear presentation

[Paolo Swuec @PS_cryoEM]

We are looking for labs who got either Thermo’s iFLM or DELMIC’s METEOR installed on their Aquilos. Would love to reach out for honest feedback (feel free to PM or [email protected]). ☕️ or🍷(or both) in reward 😁!!!

[Gaia Pigino @GaiaPigino]

🚨Looking for a postdoc 🚨
Want to investigate the link between tubulin posttranslational modifications and #ciliopathies? @ERC_Research

Join us @humantechnopole to discover how the #tubulincode regulates #cilia assembly, transport and mechanics.

[Francesca Coscia @FrancesCryoEM]

@ERC_Research council-funded #postdocjobs in my group @humantechnopole to unravel the mysteries of #thyroid hormone regulation, using cell biology, light microscopy and #cryoEM ! Please apply here 👉 https://t.co/yNXoGcRCqC. Feel free to get in touch by email for more details!

[Rui Zhang @RuiZhangWUSTL]

We are very excited to share our latest work, the high-resolution cryo-EM structure of the ex vivo cortical #microtubules from human parasite #Toxoplasma gondii. This work is in collaboration with David Sibley lab and @alanbrownhms lab.

[Greg Pintilie @gpintilie]

Fascinating microtubule structures solved by sub-tomogram averaging using EMAN (@sludtke and Muyuan Chen), imaging in @chiulab, segmentation with Segger! Identified tubulin proteins in different arrangements along with other components https://t.co/QtJUG9xWgb

[Nalan Liv @NalanLiv]

One fiducial to suit CLEM all!
We present a bimodal endocytic probe for several 2D- & 3D-CLEM applications with Tokuyasu cryosections, resin-embedded material, and cryo-EM.
A huge thanks to all the coauthors on Twitter @JKlumperman @Carter_Lab @_Helen_Foster_ @psirez and beyond!

[Helen Foster @_Helen_Foster_]

@NalanLiv @JKlumperman @Carter_Lab @psirez It was great to contribute to this project! I sure it will be useful for lots of cryo-CLEMers 😃

[Jason Shepherd @JasonSynaptic]

Cryo-ET in situ is going to revolutionize cell biology! I'm very intrigued by this data that shows virus-like capsids in axons. This is actually consistent with data from @Campbell_RNALab showing that Arc is released from DRGs! https://t.co/B7Ecp9rgnY

[Helen Foster @_Helen_Foster_]

Huge thanks to @CamillaVenturaS who was a star collaborator and @Carter_Lab for all his support!!

[Helen Foster @_Helen_Foster_]

Very excited these papers have been released today! One describes the intra-cellular compartments in mammalian axons (https://t.co/6LaBG2OSMQ) and the other focusses on the microtubule cytoskeleton (https://t.co/qNny8xWZgY). Safe to say the second part of my PhD was an adventure!

[Carter Lab @Carter_Lab]

Two papers from @_Helen_Foster_ . Previously a technician, then PhD student in my lab. Now with @GaiaPigino (thank you for letting her finish these, Gaia!). Also thank you to @CamillaVenturaS for her brilliant contributions.

@CKYLau @CamillaVenturaS @Carter_Lab Thanks Clinton :) You nearly had a haiku there!
