More great cryo-ET benchmarking work from my colleagues Maarten Tuijtel, Tomáš Majtner, Beata Turoňová, & @becklab.bsky.social: Systematic study of how tilt increment choice affects downstream TM & STA. Preprint has the optimally balanced tilt increment. #TeamTomo www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

We’re hosting the @embo.org Practical Course on In-situ structural biology by CryoFIB and CryoET in April 2026! 🧬❄️ You can expect hands-on training, cutting-edge methods, and a chance to work alongside leading experts in structural biology. 🔗 Apply by Dec 8, 2025: meetings.embo.org/event/26-in-...

AI for Cryo-ET 🌟 Our new paper presents a deep-learning framework that cleans up faulty tilt series in a more automated, precise and powerful way! 💪 Read more here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New from my colleagues Markus Schreiber & Beata Turoňová: TANGO, an #opensource tool for more holistic spatial analysis of cryo-ET particles. It can clean or cluster particles, analyze lattices, and identify patterns. #TeamTomo www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hey #TeamTomo, Ever been in need of a tutorial about the fundamentals of cryo-electron tomography? From preprocessing raw frames to high-res subtomogram averaging? That's why @florentwaltz.bsky.social and I made this website! tomoguide.github.io Follow the thread 1 /🧵 #CryoET #CryoEM 🔬🧪

🦠🧠 MemBrain update! 🧠🦠 We’ve updated our preprint! It now covers the full MemBrain v2 pipeline for end-to-end membrane analysis in #CryoET: segmentation, particle picking, and spatial statistics. 🔗 Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2024... 🔗 Code: github.com/CellArchLab/... 🧵(1/6) #TeamTomo

Looking for a tool to measure membrane thicknesses in tomograms (#TeamTomo)? Or curious about thickness differences within and across organelles? Check out my fellow @becklab.bsky.social PhD student @deglushk.bsky.social's excellent preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New preprint on 3D heterochromatin architecture in human cells! Great collab with @sergiocruzleon.bsky.social & @johannesbetz.bsky.social from @hummerlab.bsky.social, @marinalusic.bsky.social & the Turoňová lab. Many thanks to my supervisor @becklab.bsky.social. bioRxiv: tinyurl.com/3a74uanv 🧵👇

Also, check out @sergiocruzleon.bsky.social's post for a cool video summary about our new heterochromatin preprint.

Excited to share our latest work on nuclear pore complex scaffold integrity and its perturbation. Now out in Nature Cell Biology: rdcu.be/eg4i9 Great work by Reiya Taniguchi who just opened his own research group back in Japan! 🥳

Hello world!

Fresh out of the press! ✨Check out our new paper on the violent entry of the HIV capsid into the nuclear pore — and how it cracks the gate! 🤯 💥 Incredible work from @becklab.bsky.social and @hummerlab.bsky.social 🤩 More here: www.biophys.mpg.de/2842024/hivcapsid-cracks-the-npc?c=2011019 🔗 #teamTOMO

So happy that my main PhD project on HIV-1 nuclear entry is now out in Cell. I want to especially thank my supervisor Martin @becklab.bsky.social and our amazing collaborators @maziarheidari.bsky.social from @hummerlab.bsky.social, Vojtech Zila from the Kräusslich lab and many others.

Exciting times in HIV research and prevention! HIV capsid is a great drug target because it's not just a protective shell for the viral genome but also a key facilitator for HIV entering the nucleus via the nuclear pore (NPC).

Celebrating Dr. Huaipeng Xing from #molecularsociology on successfully defending his #PhD! 👏🥳 He studied the visualization of protein synthesis and folding inside human cells by #cryoET #teamTOMO. Congrats, Huaipeng, and best wishes for your future! 🤩

Do not miss our latest #cryoET work! 🕵️ Xing et al. present the dynamic architecture of TRiC in human cells! The study of this protein-folding chaperonin opens the door to understanding its dysfunction in diseases like cancer and neurodegeneration 🧠🧪 #teamTOMO @becklab.bsky.social
