Excited to share that as my group launches across Karolinska Institutet and the University of Helsinki, we’re recruiting postdocs and research assistants to study the nanoscale architecture of lipid flux using in-cell structural biology approaches, including cryo-ET and cryo-CLEM

In another inspiring talk at #EMBOComp3D, Julia Mahamid spoke about recent in-cell cryo-ET results

Tired of knowing what you are looking for in your tomograms?
Why not try bluesky-less Frosina's new self-supervised algorithm for semantic segmentation and particle picking for #teamtomo (includes a new denoiser without the need for odd/even tomos)

Code is on GitHub if you want to try it out

Missed this at the time, super cool. Domes & capsules everywhere it seems..

Check out our preprint! With new molecular mechanisms, 140 subtomogram averages, and ~600 annotated cells under different conditions, we @embl.org were able to describe bacterial populations with in-cell #cryoET. And there’s a surprise at the end πŸ•΅οΈ

Keep your eyes peeled. There’ll soon be another preprint by @joedobbs.bsky.social showing a myriad of translation/transcription complexes in Mycoplasma, and later I’ll have more on protein folding.

I hope with new methods it will soon be much more automated giving rise to countless new discoveries!

This is just an excellent preprint by Rasmus Jensen and colleagues from Julia Mahamid's lab @embl.org - a tour de force of Cryogenic electron tomography to do in cell structural biology in which they discover a new complex and solve its structure and function! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We unfortunately don’t know - as mentioned in the discussion we looked for it but it may be too low abundance or transient for us to capture - but a great direction to follow up on πŸ˜‰

This link should work - I did not find a way to edit the original post

Are you into cryo-ET, in-cell discovery, protein translocation and folding or just cool integration of structural biology, proteomics and bioinformatics? Then see our new work:

Looks great! What is the approximate time-line for code release for people who’re interested in trying it on their own data?
