Protein receptors imaged by cryoelectron microscopy help scientists understand inflammation
October 4, 2019 -- Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University used cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) to observe protein structure and function at a molecular level. This discovery, published in Cell on October 3 describes the structure of P2X receptor, a cellular membrane protein receptor, and provides insight into how the cation channel functions.  Discuss
Driven by nanotech and other micro technologies electron microscopy market continues to grow
October 3, 2019 -- According to a new report from Strategic Directions International (SDI), the total market for electron microscopy instrumentation was in excess of $2.5 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach nearly $3.4 billion by 2023.  Discuss
Forward-oriented gene therapy improves treatment for sickle cell disease
October 2, 2019 -- Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have developed a new and improved viral vector that is up to 10 times more efficient at incorporating corrective genes into bone marrow stem cells than conventional treatments. The work was published in Nature Communications on October 2, and was supported by the National Heart Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at the NIH.  Discuss
Personalized cancer vaccines now possible due to discovery of cancer frameshift neoantigens
October 2, 2019 -- Researchers from Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute demonstrated experimental proof-of-concept that cancer mutations produce individual neoantigens, or newly formed antigens, and can be used for cancer vaccines. The new paper published in Scientific Reports on October 2, shows that neoantigens can be used to protect against cancer.  Discuss
Bacteria use 'poisoned arrowheads' to defeat competition, similar to antibiotics
October 1, 2019 -- According to a new study published in Cell Reports on October 1, bacteria use weapons to vanquish their competitors. Researchers at Imperial College London have uncovered a novel weapon that bacteria employ which has a similar mechanism of action as common antibiotics.  Discuss
Understanding bacterial motility using cryogenic electron microscopy
October 1, 2019 -- A new finding reported in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology on October 1 shows how bacterial transmit motion from an inner motor to an outer tail through a flexible joint in the flagellum. This hook helps researchers understand how bacteria move and allows them to improve therapies against bacterial infections.  Discuss
