Very excited to announce that my first, first author paper, is now on BioRxiv! In this paper we unambiguously show #COPII coated vesicles in unperturbed human cells for the very first time!! Make my day and check it out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #Cryo-ET #TeamTomo #Cryo-CLEM ❄️🔬❄️🔬❄️🔬❄️🔬

Vitrification is THE make-or-break for cryoET in tissues. Each sample we figure out opens so many new possibilities for understanding biology. Great screening effort, rewarded with beautiful tomograms. Congrats!

Awesome plant root #CryoET (native Casparian strip) and a detailed methods paper (silver needle cryo-lift out) all in one-- 13 figures! Jean is a machine! Congrats @chgenoud.bsky.social @nikogeldner.bsky.social and the DCI team. 🧪🧶🧬🌾🔬

You want to start tomography? Solve structures inside cells? Reach Nyquist 😳 ? @phaips.vd.st and I have a website for you! tomoguide.github.io You'll find a tutorial on how to reconstruct tomograms, pick particles and do subtomogram averaging, using different software! Hope it will be useful !

Amazing work!!! 🎊

🦠🧠 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
