Excited to share our latest work published in PNASNews! Utilizing cryo-ET, we have successfully visualized the force that segments the nucleus. The whole story works out in an imaging-driven approach. #TEAMTOMO

Another iron in C. difficile’s fire The Drakesmith Lab & Zimmermann highlight work of The Pi Lab Zhou_Lab-Vanderbilt Eric Skaar discovering a unique iron storage organelle, the ferrosome, in Clostridioides difficile and its important roles during infection cell.com/cell-host-micr…

Thrilled to announce that I have accepted a TT faculty offer at Vanderbilt University in the Dept. of Pharmacology Vanderbilt Pharmacology and Vanderbilt Brain Institute Vanderbilt Brain Institute, starting in September 2024!! 🥳🥳 We will study mechanisms of somatosensory circuit assembly for touch

We report LRRK2 with everal type I and Type II inhibitors in collaboration with Wen Ma from U of Vermont. Congratulations to Noma for another amazing work . nature.com/articles/s4142…

The edge of a colony of cells videoed through a DIC microscope. All of the sausage shaped organelles are the powerhouses of the cell, mitochondria. You can see them entering the edge of the cell that spreads into the top of the field. Transmitted Light Microscopy! #CellBiology

Let’s goooooo! Phase 3 of @VI4Research buildout is complete, bringing the VI4 facilities to over 30,000 square feet of newly renovated space for cutting edge research in immunology and microbiology @VUMCResearch

Today we remember and celebrate the life of Bill Weis. Our friend, colleague, & mentor. We scientists are lifelong learners by temperament & necessity. Bill fueled our learning daily. 1/n

High-res In-situ Structures of Mammalian Respiratory Supercomplexes in Reaction within Native Mitochondria biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Check out my lab's first work on membrane proteins! Yes, we knew nothing about detergent😜, so we directly imaged proteins within native membrane!

Our manuscript for STOPGAP is now out in Structural Biology! It was great working with Sagar and twitterless Jonathan Wagner. journals.iucr.org/d/issues/2024/…

Zhou lab’s first paper is out! The postsynaptic density in excitatory synapses is composed of clustered, heterogeneous nanoblocks. Congrats Rong and QJ!!! Zhou_Lab-Vanderbilt rupress.org/jcb/article/22…

Sun et al. use #cryoET to show that the postsynaptic density in excitatory #synapses is made of heterogeneous nanoblocks, which scaffold receptor-like particles with distinct spatial organization, shedding light on synaptic transmission and plasticity. hubs.la/Q03dGlSR0

Check out our new paper - The postsynaptic density in excitatory synapses is organized into heterogeneous nanoblocks, revealing a new layer of synaptic complexity. Read more: doi.org/10.1083/jcb.20…

Have you read the new Journal of Cell Biology paper from the Zhou_Lab-Vanderbilt lab? They show that the postsynaptic density in excitatory synapses is organized into heterogeneous nanoblocks, revealing a new layer of synaptic complexity. doi.org/10.1083/jcb.20…

🧠 Postdoc fellow Rong Sun and members of Zhou_Lab-Vanderbilt in Vanderbilt Biochemistry Vanderbilt University have uncovered “nanoblocks”—tiny structures that help shape synaptic function and plasticity. This work has broadened our understanding of neurons' organization. 👉 medschool.vanderbilt.edu/basic-sciences…
