Finally, our Krios has arrived. Probably the most expensive stuff I have opened from a box...

Congratulations to @loonggui, Evan, and the other authors: our #cryoET study of the #apicomplexan #parasite invasion machinery is out now! This was a wonderful collaboration with @reeselab1! 🧪🧫 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…. @UTSWNews @CellUtsw

(1/10) Excited to share our cryo-EM structure of gas vesicles, providing buoyancy to microbes (and recently also genetically encoded ultrasound contrast to scientists)! tinyurl.com/4hfy6x59 Congrats to everone involved: @CryoTUD, Wiel Evers, Dion Terwiel, @DMarescalab.

Thank you Mike for the perfect opportunity of collaboration! Such a pleasure to work with @BiochemSean It is very excited to see #cryoET could visualize lipid droplets in different phase transitions in their native environments!
New preprint! Here we dissect how cells create "liquid-crystalline lattice" lipid droplets (LCL-LDs). How does fat crystallize, you may ask? We find TAG lipolysis causes sterol-esters in LDs to transition from a disordered to a liquid-crystalline phase. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Check the new method from our lab which could bring cryo-electron tomography of axonemes to 12 Å resolution! Structure of the ciliary axoneme at nanometer resolution reconstructed by TYGRESS biorxiv.org/content/early/20…
Just returned from a long long vocation...
Prepare the Presentation tomorrow......And also the experiments...
