Great work, congratulations Raya!

Beautiful imaging (and story) Mariano G Buffone and colleagues! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How is the biogenesis machinery organized to produce multispanning membrane in humans? In our most recent preprint, we characterize the composition of the multipass translocon in its native membrane environment using cryo-ET. 🧵 #TeamTomo #cryoEM biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Amazing Max Gemmer analyzed further how the composition of the recently discovered multipass translocon varies depending on translation activity of bound ribosomes - and illustrates it beautifully!

Its out !!! 🥳 Very proud to announce that my PhD work is now published in Nature communication: nature.com/articles/s4146… We developed #iUExM, an optimized iterative expansion protocol allowing 16 to 26 fold homogeneous expansion together with specific bright labelling !

The paper is now online in its revised form Nature Methods: nature.com/articles/s4159… . Many thanks to the anonymous reviewers and Rita Strack for the nice review experience. And shoutout to twitterless Oda, JP, and Christoph Kaiser! It has been a fun journey. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🎉

Happy to contribute a cryo-EM structure of HURP decorated microtubule that helps explain how HURP stabilizes the microtubule.

Bert Janssen has been appointed as Professor of Structural Cell Biology. Janssen and his team use and develop techniques to visualize interactions between cells in great detail uu.nl/en/news/bert-j…

Over 4 years in the making, I am excited to share our pre-print on the “In-cell structure and snapshots of copia retrotransposons in intact tissue by cryo-electron tomography”. We used cryo-ET to resolve the copia capsid structure to subnanometer resolution inside cells. A 🧵

On international women’s day,as someone that attended more than 500 European Research Council (ERC) interviews in her panel,I can tell you that NO grantee has gotten her grant because she is a woman.I also celebrate today all LS1 women APPLICANTS and all LS1 women PANEL MEMBERS!You are AMAZING!🤩

Capping a 10-year-long adventure, in today's Cell we unveil the molecular mechanism whereby the fertilized egg permanently blocks polyspermy, a lethal condition for the embryo: doi.org/10.1016/j.cell… #structuralbiology #reproduction #fertilization #infertility

I have openings for #ERC funded #PhDposition. If you are interested in sperm biology and like #cryoEM, you can apply here: uu.nl/en/organisatio…

In the first plenary lecture we heard about egg-sperm interaction and prevention of polyspermy from the brilliant Luca Jovine → bsky.app/profile/jovinelab.org #ECA2024 European Academy of Andrology

I am very pleased the first work of Jo @judernatz is now out on bioRxiv showing how cargo is transported during spermiogenesis biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share our latest results in eLife - the journal on our discoveries regarding the fertilization process in mammals. Congratulations to the team!
