Scientists reveal the structure of glutamate transporter in our cells Feb 18 2021 For the first time, researchers have found one of the most important molecular machines in our cells uses a ‘twisting elevator’ mechanism, solving a mystery of how it transports crucial chemical signals from one cell to another. Individual transporter particles captured by the cryo-EM (left), the structure solved by averaging thousands of these individual particles (middle) and a computer simulation of the glu...

Researchers use high-resolution imaging to observe HIV infection process in the cell nucleus Scientists at EMBL Heidelberg and at the Zentrum für Infektiologie at Heidelberg University Hospital have succeeded for the first time in imaging HIV during transport into the nucleus of an infected cell. The electron tomographic images show the protein envelope of the virus passing through one of the nuclear pores - the openings in the membrane around the nucleus that allow molecules in and out. The s...

Posted January 22nd, 2021 for JAMSTEC 1. Overview A research group led by Dr. Naotaka Tomioka, Senior Researcher at the Kochi Institute for Core Sample Research of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (KOCHI JAMSTEC) gave the mineral name “poirierite” to a high-pressure phase with the chemical composition of olivine that was found in shocked meteorites. Poirierite has now been officially approved as a new mineral species by the International Mineralogical As...

Researchers in the United States have defined an antigenic “supersite” within the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that could have important implications for the design of vaccines to protect against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is a high-resolution imaging method that supplies information regarding the morphology and structure of specimens. In order to penetrate samples, it utilizes a high energy electron beam and renders images using the transmitted part of the beam. As highly accelerated electrons have a small wavelength, they can be employed to resolve small features. This capability is critical in nanotechnology, structural biology, and material science studies. The sample to...

Researchers develop improved process for large-scale electron microscopy to visualize small structures How are networks of neurons connected to make functional circuits? This has been a long-standing question in neuroscience. To answer this fundamental question, researchers from Boston Childrens Hospital and Harvard Medical School developed a new way to study these circuits and in the process learn more about the connections between them. "Neural networks are extensive, but the connections betw...

A new preprint research paper published on the bioRxiv server describes the role of a host protein called tetherin in the spread of the novel coronavirus.
