Since Keith Porter’s pioneering electron micrograph of a cell in 1945, our Electron Microscopy Resource Center (EMRC) has been a cornerstone in the microscopic exploration of biological structures. Today, the EMRC continues to lead with groundbreaking techniques in electron microscopy, and is a hub for both innovation and tradition. A recent publication in Nature, led by Dr. Craig Thompson of MSKCC, features co-authors Dr. Amalia Pasolli and Dr. Anurag Sharma from the EMRC. The study investigates how cellular energy requirements influence mitochondrial dynamics and function, demonstrating the synergy between MSKCC’s advanced imaging techniques and the EMRC’s electron microscopy expertise. This collaborative effort highlights the critical role of interdisciplinary partnerships in advancing scientific discovery. To learn more, see: https://lnkd.in/etBMf8nU

‼️New paper ‼️ Happy to announce the most recent publication of our team in which we describe a new method to experimentally measure both, the refractive and the stiffness gradient within the human crystalline lens in vivo. https://lnkd.in/eyZSJGTD

In a new series of work, researchers at HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus, the Allen Institute, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and Harvard Medical School used super high-resolution 3D electron microscopy images generated for creating connectomes to get the best look yet at primary cilia – the micrometer-long, hair-like organelles protruding from the cell surface that transmit cellular signals. Their research uncovers new insights about cilia in critical brain regions that could help scientists better understand their role and potential contribution to disease.

INL researchers have developed a DNA origami-graphene hybrid sensor that pushes the boundaries of nanoscale detection! This innovative sensor, led by Jana Nieder’s group in collaboration with pedro alpuim’s group and Thorsten Lars Schmidt (Kent State University), combines DNA origami structures with graphene to achieve molecular motion detection with unique accuracy. 🔬 Key Highlights: ✅ Tracks movements as small as two nanometres. ✅ Uses Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) for reliable nanoscale sensing. ✅ Functionalised graphene interacts with fluorescent markers to control and detect molecular motions. “This level of control on the molecular scale might be relevant for future bio-sensing applications,” says Jana Nieder, research group leader and study coordinator. Potential applications range from disease diagnostics to cell mechanics studies, offering high accuracy with minimal invasiveness. + https://lnkd.in/du8wxdb7 #INL #INLnano #Nanotechnology #DNAOrigami #GrapheneSensors #NanoscaleInnovation #AdvancedMaterials #MedicalInnovation #EnvironmentalMonitoring
