Volume EM meets synthetic biology

Matthew Lee, Judith Mantell, Martin Warren, Paul Verkade and colleagues use serial section Transmission Electron Tomography (ss-ET) to visualise synthetic ‘cytoscaffolds’ in bacteria.

How do #ctenophores control their sense of balance "without a brain"?

We used connectomics to uncover the neural network behind their gravity sensing!
