Our work with @RouslanEfremov on the #cryoEM structure of E. coli respiratory complex I in #nanodiscs is in @eLife! https://t.co/5GMw5RHPwJ 🥳🔬❄️ Thank you @ERC_Research @structbiolbxl @BECM_VIB @VUBrussel & all my colleagues for all the support, what a journey!🎢 A thread:[1/6]

Science has become obsessed with publishing numbers. With this new satirical proposal, have we reached peak metric? https://t.co/LlS6dywj1M

EU Food Science Authority Condemns Bad Microplastic Studies: EFSA shows how most microplastic studies were deficient, unreliable and corrupted. 13/ https://t.co/vXFwJr82B9

Last year in @SciRobotics, researchers followed up on their development of Third Thumb—a robotic appendage that, when trialed by members of the general public, was a big hit. Learn more: https://t.co/46Uayg5Qy1 #ScienceMagArchives

New preprint from @DuXDaniel @FitzpatrickLab shows #femtosecond light pulses can lens electron beams, promising higher contrast in #cryoET and better aberration correction in #cryoEM https://t.co/Ve5rDLTg4A Experiments made possible by support from @cziscience #ImagingTheFuture

Time‑resolved cryo‑EM now films proteins every 5µs: ⚡️Lasers melt‑revitrify + 💧droplet mix‑and‑spray chips need just 100nL per shot, catching fleeting drug‑ready states 👀👀👀

From today, all new submissions to Nature that are published will be accompanied by referees’ reports and author responses — to illuminate the process of producing rigorous science https://t.co/Fua3YQ8XPt

With our RTI colleagues Xiaobin Ling and @WenwenFang2, we report cryo-EM structures of enigmatic bacterial RNA nanocages made of long-noncoding ROOL RNAs. Octamers are held by "A-minor staples" and other interactions. Congrats Xiaobin, Dima et al! https://t.co/kThZa5hsMS

🧬AlphaFold3 nails protein structure prediction ... except for 48% of the interactome 😅 PIONEER2.0 blends homology + DL to map interfaces for 352k human PPIs, beating AF3 where it falters.

🚨New paper🚨 Excited to share our latest on @Nature today: The PIVOT PENALTY in research. https://t.co/V4ENiGCssY More than five years in the making. Key finding: The impact of new research steeply declines the further a researcher moves from their previous work.

A sobering message from a history teacher: I’ve spent years teaching American and international government — from strong democracies like the UK to authoritarian regimes like russia and China. But lately, the most alarming lesson comes from home. 1/n

You want to start tomography? Solve structures inside cells? Reach Nyquist😳? We have a website for you! https://t.co/ulvbbhEY6d You'll find a tutorial on how to reconstruct tomograms, pick particles and do subtomo averaging, using different software! Hope it will be useful !

Hey ChimeraX users! ChimeraX-CliX now supports color preview, quick menubar/toolbar search, and many other powerful features to support you. If you are interested in, please download the latest version -> https://t.co/n95MTEAv1b

Excited to share our latest work on the structure and mechanism of the ancient sodium-pumping Rnf complex, now out in @NatureComms

Scientists have long known that histones spool DNA and help regulate genes. They may be doing a lot more. https://t.co/iMRKxyBRRO

incredible breakthrough: a protein from tardigrades can now protect human cells from radiation. healthier cancer therapies, longer space missions, and real-world longevity treatments are coming. 1/

I am very happy to announce that we solved the in-virus #cryoEM structure of the #HIV matrix protein. The structure helped us to resolve a long mystery in HIV biology. A🧵1/5 Read more in @Nature : https://t.co/rVDC5LomAn 🧪

Impact of the PDB on drug approvals Open access to the PDB facilitated discovery/development of 100% of the 34 new low molecular weight, protein-targeted, antineoplastic agents approved by the US FDA 2019–2023. Read more in Oncogene https://t.co/N7GVXne9ys

Optical nanoscopy, but without the OFF...! Published in @NaturePhysics by T.A. Hensel, J.O. Wirth, O.L. Schwarz & S.W. Hell. Check it out with open access at https://t.co/T3KuhjMolg @mpi_nat @mpi_mr_hd #Imaging #Optics #Waves #Microscopy

I am eager to look into this model, but having only skimmed the paper, here are two thoughts: 1. I don't believe any claim of computational design unless you synthesize the DNA, put it in a real cell, and show that the design functions as expected.

HOLY SHIT IT'S HAPPENING AI can now write genomes from scratch. Arc Institute an NVIDIA just published Evo-2, the largest AI model for biology, trained on 9.3 trillion DNA base pairs spanning the entire tree of life. it doesn’t just analyze genomes. it creates them 1/
