Near Atomic Cryo-EM Structure of the Type III Secretion System
Congratulations to the Strynadka Lab on their paper published in Nature Communications! Researchers used cryo-EM to determine a high resolution structure of the Type III Secretion System, and processed the data to obtain near atomic resolution structures of several components which make up this assembly.
Lipid Nanoparticles imaged at HRMEM
Congratulations to the Cullis lab on their paper published in ACS Nano. Kulkarni et al used the HRMEM facility to image lipid nanoparticles.
