This is super impressive and interesting #TeamTomo work by @carter-lab.bsky.social. Congrats everyone!! 🧪 🧶🧬

Neat! Now if only we could get rid of all the surface ice chunks that land on our finished lamellae en route from our Aquilos to Titan 🧊😭 (yeah, yeah I know... glove box... or direct vacuum transfer...)

#TeamTomo if you want to use CTF-corrected 3D subtomos from AreTomo3 in RELION v.5.1 you can use this updated script:

Before knowing anything else about this, I am excited because prediction of stoichometry is also an implicit prediction of allostery.

New protein complex stoichiometry prediction tool from talent PhD student @daniil-litvinov.bsky.social, check out the thread below!

Check out this awesome work from @daniil-litvinov.bsky.social: Protein complex stoichiometry prediction (both homomers and heteromers) from sequence, with some nice ablations showing what makes the difference!

Here’s the link to Daniil’s thread 🧵 explaining why Stoic is so cool 😎🧪 #AI #ProteinPrediction

Stoic 🦾 from our shared student @daniil-litvinov.bsky.social predicts protein complex stoichiometry. A fun collab with @ninjani.bsky.social @torstenschwede.bsky.social - this #AI adventure beyond our core #CryoET methods was made possible by the @biozentrum.unibas.ch PhD Fellowship Program! 🧪 🧶🧬

started using --𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐦𝐚_𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝟑 in RELION5 Refine3D and all of a sudden every subtomogram average goes to high resolution 🤯
#TeamTomo

This is a proud and exciting moment for me. Manon continues to redefine our understanding of pyrenoid biology, as she pushes the frontiers of #TeamTomo straight into the natural world around us 🌍🌊🌾🔬

Her new group at @gmivienna.bsky.social will explore fresh and impactful questions. Check it out! 🧪👩‍🔬

Exciting opportunity to work in a lab that’s pushing the boundaries of environmental sampling and work with an amazing scientist!!! 👩‍🔬🔬

You want to work on carbon concentration mechanisms in algae 🫑? Go work with my (soon-to-be-former) colleague
@manondemulder.bsky.social in Vienna @gmivienna.bsky.social !
Cryo-ET 🔬 and funky bugs 🦠

#CryoET #CryoEM

I mean Vienna is not a bad place to be, but working and building and expanding and Cryo-ETing with @manondemulder.bsky.social can only make it a billion time better....

A bit late to the party- but this is one of the finest papers I have read in years. It is both super cool science, and does the near impossible in our field: grounding insights about the evolution of molecular mechanism in the ecological arena in which they (presumably) arose. It's a masterpiece.

#TeamTomo is in the museum #SciArt 🧪 🎨

So it turns out that chromatin in archaea takes the hellish form of a Lovecraftian tube worm 🪱🔥

Love it! Thanks for the nightmare-fuel! 😱

#ArchaeaSky @dodonova-sveta.bsky.social 🧪

@embl.org at its best: collaborative, open, transformative, and just the right amount of crazy. Dreaming of mechanistic cell biology *in the natural environment*? Dream no more, rent the AML.

So one day, I walk into our lab and @computingcaitie.bsky.social & @abimoye.bsky.social are carying eyeballs around everywhere 👀. Thanks for the eye-opening collaboration! (literally, ha!) 🧪

Great to see our paper on light-intensity dependent swimming patterns in #Chlamydomonas out now in Phys Rev Lett. as an Editors' suggestion! With a nice commentary by @philipcball.bsky.social.

Chlamy actively modulate the beat planes of their #cilia!

Haha, I am notorious for my strong feelings on segmentation colors 🌈🎨 🧪

But did we pick the exact right shade of pink? Maybe we should try five more? 💕

Pretty figure incoming @lowlab.bsky.social 🤗

Histones in archaea, you say? Check out this new paper from @dodonova-sveta.bsky.social @embl.org 😁 🧪

Microtubules in Asgard archaea Microtubules are a hallmark of eukaryotes. Archaeal and bacterial homologs of tubulins typically form homopolymers and non-tubular superstructures. Th…

It's very cool! I already teach this awesome study from @florianwollweber.bsky.social & @pilhoferlab.bsky.social in my first-year cell bio class at the @biozentrum.unibas.ch

Very cool environmental #CryoET. This is an exciting frontier for #TeamTomo 🧪 🌍

I agree. Grandstanding without putting more money in the pot 💰. Funding is tighter than ever this year, even in Switzerland🇨🇭 …the @snsf.ch is taking a big hit 😣

Thanks Khaled 🌱😊

Chloroplast-encoded small subunit extensions reshape the Chlamydomonas chlororibosome www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.07.704542v1 #cryoEM

This is absolutely gorgeous work from @helenfoster.bsky.social, @margotriggi.bsky.social, @gaiapigino.bsky.social and colleagues 🤩

#Chlamy cilia never cease to amaze!

At long last, the Chlamy chloroplast ribosome hat 🎩 (now renamed the arm 💪) is here to say hello👋! We first spotted this extended structure in green algae a decade ago, and @florentwaltz.bsky.social did beautiful work bringing it into focus! #CryoEM ❄️ #TeamTomo 🔬 #PlantScience 🌾 #ProtistsOnSky 🧪

Thanks Johann! Big congrats on your beautiful work as well. Really jaw-dropping #CryoET!! 🤩 I agree there are some cool parallels between the systems 🤓 🧪
