Diel remodeling and cellular integration of the nitroplast

The paper investigates the cellular integration and diel remodeling of the nitroplast in Braarudosphaera bigelowii, revealing its structural interactions and dynamic membrane changes.

An Advanced Mobile Laboratory to enable field-based microbial ecology and cell biology across scales

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.

Microscopy Nodes: versatile 3D microscopy visualization with Blender

Microscopy Nodes enables 3D microscopy data visualization in Blender, supporting various formats and visualization modes for light and electron microscopy.

Charting the landscape of cytoskeletal diversity in microbial eukaryotes

Ultrastructure expansion microscopy applied to 221 cultured planktonic eukaryotes maps diverse microtubule and centrin-based cytoskeletons, including dinoflagellate apical centrin rings and cryptophyte cortical centrin meshes.

A multicellular developmental program in a close animal relative

The paper shows that the ichthyosporean C. perkinsii undergoes symmetry breaking and cleavage divisions to form multicellular colonies with distinct cell types, suggesting ancient or convergent origins of animal-like development.
