Congratulations Marcel, Matthias & co! Remarkable technical achievement. At the EMBL tomo meeting, we've seen vitreous mouse brain biopsy, but plants 🌱 are more challenging because they are full of water 💧

Some seriously advanced and beautiful #CryoET on our photosynthetic friends. That “empty” cytoplasm is so mysterious to me. Yo ribosomes, where U at!? #TeamTomo #PlantScience 🧪🧬🧶🔬🌾

Our methods paper made it to bioRxiv: doi.org/10.1101/2025... Full #cryoET workflows for #plant tissues. Plus some general tricks and tweaks on serial Lift-Out and cryo-FLM. 🧪🧵1/5 #teamtomo #PlantScience #Physcomitrium #Arabidopsis #cryoEM #CLEM

Intriguing novel fungal symbiosis … A thallus-forming N-fixing fungus-cyanobacterium symbiosis from subtropical forests www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Well deserved #scicomm award at the MBP2025 meeting for @somssich.bsky.social ! Big congrats!

The world is full of crazy and sad news, but here is a protein that localizes to only one of the two flagella

Do people have strong opinions about the spelling of Rubisco vs. RubisCO vs. RuBisCO?

That's some wild figure labeling for an equally wild new species. phytokeys.pensoft.net/article/1209... #PlantScience

Finally out! Working with this team was a fantastic learning experience. Also I was excited to determine the in situ clathrin structure for this project! That’s my first EM-structure upload to EMDB. Can I tell my mom I am a structural biologist now? 😁 #cryoET

Towards community-driven visual proteomics! Excited to finally share this large-scale curated & annotated dataset of 1829 high-quality #cryoET tomograms of the little green alga that just keeps giving— Chlamydomonas! 🧪🧶🧬🌾🌊🌍 Preprint📜: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... A short thread🧵👇

More pasta science 🍝🇮🇹

Here's a feed, collecting post with microscopy images & videos across bluesky: bsky.app/profile/madi... Should soon fill up with #FluorescenceFriday and #MicroscopyMonday ;)

1/Interested in biomolecular condensates? If yes, check 10.1073/pnas.2419610121 where we describe the in situ architecture of the PomXYZ co-condensate using cryo-correlative light and electron microscopy & in situ cryo-ET Wonderful coll/w Baumeister lab @madic.bsky.social‬ #teamtomo #cryoET #cryoEM

condensates as 'tumbleweed' 😉 highly recommended 🧵as another mindboggling start into 2025 this time 𝘔𝘺𝘹𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘴, not 𝘊𝘢𝘶𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳 #MicroSky
