The paper identifies secretory ferritins as iron transporters in chitons, showing they deliver iron to developing teeth via hemolymph.

The paper uses cryo-EM to determine the atomic structure of the P1 Tail Baseplate complex, revealing how its unique infection mechanism involves LTFs and baseplate movement.

The paper introduces a method combining deep learning for density tracing with AlphaFold2 to improve protein structure modeling from cryo-EM maps and accurately assign chain identities in homo-multimers.
