Spatial confinement shapes organelle architecture and remodeling in axons

The paper uses cryo-electron tomography to study axonal organelle organization, revealing how spatial confinement influences membrane remodeling and organelle morphology.

Cryo-electron tomography reveals coupled flavivirus replication, budding and maturation

Cryo-ET of Langat virus-infected cells shows replication organelle size set by a membrane coat plus RNA pressure, with virion budding and maturation occurring beside the organelles.

Surface morphometrics reveals local membrane thickness variation in organellar subcompartments

The paper uses cryo-ET and a Surface Morphometrics pipeline to measure membrane thickness in organellar subcompartments, revealing variations and correlations with structural features.

Prohibitin complexes associate with unique membrane microdomains in cells

This study shows prohibitin complexes are associated with unique membrane microdomains in cells, using cryo-electron tomography and Surface Morphometrics.

Cytoplasmic ribosomes on mitochondria alter the local membrane environment for protein import

The paper uses cryo-electron tomography to study cytoplasmic ribosome orientation and clustering on mitochondria in yeast, revealing their role in co-translational protein import.
