Great work by @tzujingyang.bsky.social and @melaniemcdowell.bsky.social!!

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

Super excited to share this as my first post with the 🦋 world! In my first co-correspondent article, we (@Mayra Borrero @Agnieszka Chacińska @IMOL Institute) look at the roles of lipids in mitochondrial protein import complexes (spoiler: there are plenty!) &call for methods (spoiler: there are few!)

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 🧵👇

After the start of the AIDS epidemic, scientists revealed the atomic structures of the molecules in HIV, helping to design treatments Explore how PDB structures help our understanding of HIV at PDB-101 #CROI2025 pdb101.rcsb.org/brow...#CROI2025Images are free for use

Zhi Yang Tan & @shujuncai.bsky.social's comparative study of G0 (quiescent) and interphase fission yeast cells is out in @jcellsci.bsky.social doi.org/10.1242/jcs.263654. This study combines multiple cell-biological analyses with in situ cryo-ET. Raw data: www.ebi.ac.uk/empiar/EMPIAR-10339

Excited to share our new preprint "Dynamic nanoscale architecture of synaptic vesicle fusion in mouse hippocampal neurons" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... We combine optogenetic stimulation of neurons with in situ cryo-ET to characterize membrane dynamics during synaptic vesicle fusion ❄️🔬⏱️

It turns out this works well for improving segmentation, and Cellpose3 offers a general solution for many segmentation tasks. Please see the full paper for all the details. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

After a long journey, Segment Anything for Microscopy is now published in Nature Methods! We significantly improve SAM for interactive and automatic segmentation in light and electron microscopy and build a user-friendly tool. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hot from the press for #CellMigration + #Nucleus aficionados Karling @helenweavers.bsky.social lab show *in vivo* how immune cell adapt quickly to confined microenvironments during motility. Live-cell imaging, image analysis, #Drosophila ! Full @emboreports.org www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

These days at EMBL in Heidelberg for the EMBO Workshop “In situ structural biology: expanding the toolbox for structural cell biology” were amazing! I showed my work on the tetrameric serotonin receptor: www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.... #EMBOinsitu

#CellMigration happens all the time in our bodies. This may (or not) rely on adhesion molecules #Cancer cells switch strategies during metastasis to invade other tissues Naomi Wee (naomiwee.com) did this neat movie to explain it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9aD... #SciSky 🧪🔬 @cellcommlab.bsky.social

I am very happy to share our latest work on the detailed cryo-EM structure of the NDH-PSI supercomplex of spinach. Thanks to Werner Kühlbrandt, Alex Hahn and @mpibp.bsky.social ! 🍃❄️🔬 You can find the paper in open access in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
