  • Tightening the focus of subcellular snapshots: Combined approach yields better cell slices for cryoET imaging

    Tightening the focus of subcellular snapshots: Combined approach yields better cell slices for cryoET imaging

    Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons that emerge allow researchers to reconstruct the…

    AI tools speed development of antibody probes to see activity inside living cells

    Researchers at Colorado State University have determined how to use artificial intelligence to modify antibodies so they act as lightbulbs, enabling scientists to better see inside living cells to track errors in gene expression that can lead to…

    Two-step genome editing enables creation of full-length humanized mouse models

    Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species. Although mice share most protein-coding genes with humans, their regulatory landscapes often diverge, limiting how accurately…
