Below (by @landerlab.bsky.social) is the 2nd #cryosparc recipe on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social in a month. I remain worried about closed-source software affecting progress in #cryoEM. We should develop new algorithms instead!

Congratulations, Jingwei! I look forward to seeing you in China.

The best cover🥰, paired cats & paired helical filaments.

Finally, the paper by @qcxy8886.bsky.social on #cryoEM of tau mutants V337M and R406W is out in NSMB (which is not the fastest journal). Tau filaments with these mutations have the same structures as in AD, which may be useful for the development of faster models.

At the #Synuclein2025 in Cambridge this week. There is a large unmet need for help with #cryoEM structure determination of amyloids.

“If you’re really curious about science, then you should do it.”

We recently caught up with David Barford, Group Leader in the LMB’s Structural Studies Division, to learn more about his career, what inspires him and his group’s research into kinetochore complexes.

I found the below in the stand of @stressmarq.bsky.social at #ADPD2025. When I asked how these "tau oligomers" were made, I was told this was a company secret! 😱😱😱
How can you ever publish results obtained with such materials? How could you or anyone else replicate them if the company went bust?

Alzforum has written a piece on our most recent updates to the structure-based classification of tauopathies. 🥳

Happy to share our latest publication on
@naturesmb.bsky.social Natural Structure & Molecular Biology, we show tau filaments show Alzheimer fold in mutants V337M and R406W.
thanks @sjorsscheres.bsky.social and Michel Goedert's support. 🥳

Cool, Congratulations! 🥳
