Have you ever had nightmares of killer archaea? 🔪☠️😱 stop dreaming! Have a look at our latest preprint on how Halogeometricum borinquense uses it type 6 secretion system to kill Haloferax volcanii: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It's out! It's out! 📢The bacterial Tc Toxins are out😱☠️ (and our paper 📜😉)! But how did these huge complexes get out? Where did they assemble? 🧐 Check out Tc Toxins' great escape from Yersina 🦠 Nature Microbiology: nature.com/articles/s4156… #cryoET #toxins #microbiology 🧵1/4

Congrats to Miki Feldmüller and to all collaboration partners.

Happy 10th anniversary to the Pilhofer Lab! (pic was taken minutes before chaos ensued 😂)

Huge congrats to our institute colleagues for their first pre-print 🥳🥳 Great combination of structural and mechanistic insights into how gamma-TURC nucleates microtubule polymerization 🔬🧠🧪

My recorded video lecture on Fourier Transforms in cryo-EM I was supposed to give in person at the course in Sao Paolo today (“CryoEM São Paulo School 2023”). Unfortunately, I could not attend the event, so I recorded this talk for the students. youtu.be/mRrM0cus1HE

After two great days ETH Zürich (thanks so much again for the invite Gregor Weiss & Pilhofer Lab), looking forward to the European FIB Network meeting. Thanks for Joakim Reuteler & co for organising!

Thanks for coming and for the exciting discussions! It was great having you 🙏🏼 let’s serialFIB 🏎️💨

And it also works with Asgard archaea tomograms😍 Regression denoising alias #deepclean produced beautiful results and SwuliusLab was extremely helpful in setting it up. Thanks for sharing this powerful tool with us #teamtomo 🙏Here is a little comparison: 🧐🤓
