Extraordinary funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative supports two large collaborative projects that will boost imaging technology development ...

The lab has full access to cutting-edge cryo-correlative light and electron microscopy (cryo-CLEM) and an Aquilos-2 cryo-focused ion beam scanning electron microscope (cryo-FIB/SEM), which are ...

Scanning electron microscopy generates a topological image ... but structural evidence was missing. Here, using cryo-EM, the authors captured the occlusion of the BK channel pore by the N-terminus ...

Investigators at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences have uncovered how heat causes a critical receptor protein within cells to unfold and relay pain, which could open up new ...

A recent project conducted by in-house researchers at the UK’s national synchrotron facility on its Hard X-ray Nanoprobe beamline, looked at how microplastics waste may interact with zinc oxide ...

The continuous development of cryo-EM technology has greatly improved the resolution of images, enabling researchers to observe proteins, viruses, and other biological structures at an atomic level.

King’s College London (KCL) is seeking a highly motivated cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) expert to manage its newly established Cryo-EM Structural Discovery Facility. The new high-resolution ...

A hybrid microscope allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. The microscope combines polarized ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has identified a key mechanism responsible for endosomal recycling in cells, a process critical to human health. Their findings, published in ...

The most prevalent protein in the body, collagen, has long been thought to be a predictable structural element of tissues.

Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells. With this method, they can monitor individual ribosomes as they convert mRNA into proteins.
