Problem cryo-ET structure alert. A recent paper by Lange et al. in @natcellbio.nature.com (tinyurl.com/38s6a4dn) reported an unusual-looking model of the prohibitin complex in situ. We asked: how was this structure generated? Our reanalysis offers an explanation: tinyurl.com/mszdtwxx 🧵

"Our LPD-3 complex structural data reveal protein–lipid interactions that suggest a model for how the native LPD-3 complex mediates bulk lipid transport and provides a foundation for mechanistic studies of bridge-like lipid transport proteins (BLTPs)." 🤯🤯😍 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"Wound wood" is ecological engineering by the Earth Mother at its best! The tree seals the damage, fungi move in, beetles make tunnels, and here, Anolis carolinesis (green anole lizards) use it for a home. Decay signals transformation, not THE END. #WoundWood #Trees #Naturalist #botany #photography

Photosynthesis is a molecular miracle: light becomes energy. Plants are nature's first chemists, crafting food from air and water. Without plants, there's no food chain. Plants fuel the world.

Really sad to see eLife dying bit by bit 😔 I really hoped it would change “the system”. My take home:1-academics are incredibly stubborn to change 2-even revolutions need to be pragmatic. You have to stay connected to the realities of the world
