We are thrilled to share a truly exciting discovery by cryo electron tomography: the “hemifusome”- a new cellular organelle complex containing a hemifusion diaphragm! Tavakoli et al. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Amirrasoul Tavakoli, shiqiong hu and @Becharakachar Tweetorial below (1/8)
We find members of the TMC family of putative #mechanosensors at the tips of #intestinal #microvilli! Bechara Kachar Modeling Angela Ballesteros and molecular dynamics simulations Sotomayor Lab at OSU suggest they may be ion channels and/or lipid scramblases, like TMC1 at #stereocilia tips!
Pleased to announce our latest preprint: Genetically Encoded FerriTag as a Specific Label for Cryo-Electron Tomography. Great work of Wang Chang and Ioan Iacovache. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… with great support of Dubochet Center for Imaging (DCI)-Bern and Microscopy Imaging Center Bern
🎉Congratulations to Janelia Research Scientist Andy Moore (Andy Moore) on 2 honorable mentions in the 2024 #NikonSmallWorldInMotion competition for videos of a crawling tissue culture cell & a time-lapse of culture cells crawling & exploring. Nikon Small World
Standing room only for the first ACB-Physiology combined seminar series given by Dr Ebrahim from UVA. She educated us on how the cytoskeleton uses mechanical forces to regulate cell secretion to reproduction. Outstanding!
