This study identifies sphingolipids, specifically sphingomyelin, as key molecules involved in DNA condensation and developmental regulation in Chlamydia trachomatis.

This paper introduces a simplified high-pressure freezing workflow using optimized planchettes for cryo-ET, improving vitrification and reducing handling for diverse specimens.

The paper shows that the ParMR system in Anabaena sp. has evolved into a cytoskeletal system, CorMR, that controls cell shape instead of DNA segregation.

This study reveals the structural organization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis biofilms, showing how bacterial cords and an amyloid-like matrix contribute to antibiotic tolerance.

This study identifies CSE as a Ca2+-binding protein that links intracellular Ca2+-signaling to cell-cell communication in multicellular cyanobacteria by regulating nanopore and septal junction formation.

This study identifies the molecular mechanisms of ixotrophy in bacteria, revealing the role of multiple secretion systems and regulatory elements in predatory behavior.

This paper describes an automated method for preparing cryoET samples, reducing preparation time and user input while enabling high-quality lamellae for imaging and subtomogram averaging.
