Overcoming the Preferred Orientation Problem in CryoEM with spIsoNet
A self-supervised deep-learning method that offers a computational solution to preferred orientation problem in cryoEM.
Navigating New Territory in a Small Lab
The journey behind our recent paper was a long one, filled with hurdles and unexpected turns that we learned to navigate along the way. Working from a small lab with limited resources, we embarked on a project that introduced us to the complex and evolving field of biomolecular phase separation.
VEXAS Syndrome: Hope, Challenges, Solutions, and the Road Ahead
This post aims to raise awareness, build understanding, and inspire action within the medical and patient communities alike. The road is long, but with continued collaboration and innovation, we can offer new hope to those affected by VEXAS syndrome.
Visualizing Plant Salt Stress with a NaCl-Responsive Fluorescent Probe
Developing salt stress probes is essential for monitoring plant growth dynamics and for molecular breeding. This protocol outlines the synthesis and application of the probe for high-sensitivity live screening of salt stress mutants, including both sensitive and salt-tolerant types.
