This study examines the anatomy and mechanics of tsetse fly blood feeding, finding that efficient feeding is achieved through subtle adaptations rather than unique structures or forces.

The paper shows that Achromatium bacteria have genetically diverse chromosomes within cells, inherited by daughter cells, and that spatial segregation of chromosomes drives genomic variability.

PinCorr is a high-pressure freezing carrier with built-in landmarks that enable reliable spatial referencing for cryo-correlative light and electron microscopy.

The paper introduces an Advanced Mobile Laboratory (AML) for field-based microbial ecology and cell biology, enabling multiscale analysis of environmental samples directly at the sampling site.

The paper examines the structure and distribution of V-ATPase in C. elegans apical membrane stacks using cryo-ET, showing they form clusters and acidify the cuticle.

The paper shows that microglia and astrocytes extract myelinoid bodies via tethers, preserving myelin sheath integrity through tension-driven scission and fusion.

The paper uses cryo-CLEM to visualize and analyze the ultrastructural organization of mitotic chromosomes, identifying non-histone macromolecular densities and surface particle clusters.

This study shows that CNS axon diameter growth does not require oligodendrocyte ensheathment or myelination, contrasting with PNS findings.

This study investigates the role of piccolino in cochlear inner hair cell synapses, finding it contributes to active zone organization and is essential for normal synaptic transmission.

This study shows that CMTM5 deficiency in oligodendrocytes leads to progressive axonopathy, suggesting its role in maintaining axonal integrity rather than myelin formation.

The paper provides a detailed structural analysis of the anterior sensilla in C. elegans dauer larvae using FIB-SEM, revealing previously unknown neuronal structures.

This study shows that continuous myelin synthesis is necessary for maintaining white matter integrity, as preventing new myelin formation in adult mice leads to myelin degradation and neurological disease.

The paper shows that 30% of inner hair cells in the rodent cochlea form electrochemical mini-syncytia through membrane fusion, enhancing sound encoding sensitivity and reliability.
