This study determines the cryo-EM structure of SSNA-1 and shows its self-assembly and microtubule-binding role in centriole maintenance and embryonic viability.

This study identifies SSNA-1 as a centriole constituent required for structural integrity and bipolar spindle assembly in C. elegans.

The paper uses cryo-electron tomography to visualize axon branch development in mouse neurons, revealing localized organelle and cytoskeleton dynamics and local protein synthesis at branches.

This study reconstitutes contractile actomyosin rings in vesicles to study mechanical transformation and deformation mechanisms.
