Microtubules help to regulate cell structure throughout our bodies. A group of researchers have used cryo-electron microscopy to shed light on how a certain protein keeps microtubules stable ...

The researchers stabilized MAP4 on a microtubule by using kinesin-1, a motor protein that transports cargo along microtubules. They then took many images of the complex from different angles using ...

Microtubules help to regulate cell structure throughout our bodies. Using cryo-electron microscopy, light has been shed on how a certain protein keeps microtubules stable, and regulates ...

Researchers have combined cutting-edge cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) with computational molecular modeling to produce a near atomic-resolution model of the interaction between microtubules ...

It’s called cryoelectron microscopy, or cryo-EM, and it allows biologists to ... The team showed how a protein called kinesin-5 is controlled as it slides microtubules past each other. This mechanism, ...

Microtubules are supramolecular complexes ... observed this process in more detail using their laboratory’s electron microscope (EM) and the high-end cryo-EM at the SPring-8 facility and Osaka ...

A new way of imaging frozen biological samples using electron microscopy is providing new glimpses into the nanoscopic world of cells. Images reveal bent in-vitro tubulin microtubules next to and ...

Microtubules are hollow cylindrical structures ... Using high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, the team revealed the evolutionarily ...

With a 20-fold expansion, researchers can use a conventional light microscope to resolve about 20 nanometers. This allows them to see cell structures like microtubules and mitochondria ...
