🚨👉 Please check our recent work on bacterial cell division. In situ Cryo-ET reveals the cellular function of the penicillin binding protein 1b supported by AFM, live-cell imaging, in silico AlphaFold proteome screen and TIRFM. Hope you enjoy the read! #teamtomo #cryo-ET ❄️🔬🐎 big thanks to the team!

🚨New preprint!🚨 #teamtomo
We expanded Surface Morphometrics to quantify membrane thickness from cryo-ET—revealing local variation across organelles.

Led by the lab’s first grad student, @mmedina300kv.bsky.social (defending Monday! 🍾) w/ @attychang.bsky.social @hamid13r.bsky.social & @tomo.science

To explain further: The Navarro Lab secured an SNSF collaborative project grant, while the Vettiger Lab @avettiger.bsky.social landed an SNSF project grant—both totally independent!!!🎉 We’re officially making science moves—couldn’t be prouder of both teams and their work!!! 🔬💥 #Teamwork #ScienceWins

Double the grants, double the money, double the impact! Huge thanks to our amazing teams -proof that scientific power couples thrive in inclusive, diverse and open-minded institutions. And the real winner? Science, of course!🏆🔬Grateful beyond words! ❄️🐎 @dmf-unil.bsky.social @snsf-ch.bsky.social

Asgard archaea have actin - but what about microtubules? Where do they come from? 🧐 Our new paper www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... by @xujwet.bsky.social & @florianwollweber.bsky.social, in collaboration with the Schleper & Wieczorek labs, describes tiny Asgard microtubules! #TeamTomo #ArchaeaSky 1/6
