Check out this elegant News and Views Nature Cell Biology by Antentor Hinton Jr Antentor Othrell Hinton, Jr PhD (A.J. Hinton) and Andrea Marshall Andrea Marshall, highlighting the importance of organelle interconnectivity: nature.com/articles/s4155…

💫NEW: Aleksandra Filipovska & co use 3D cell reconstruction of focused ion beam scanning electron #microscopy data and #multiomics to show that ether-#lipid #metabolism regulates inter-organelle biogenesis and dynamics. rdcu.be/duKqS nature.com/articles/s4155…



High-fidelity Cas9 variants that prevent off-target cleavage typically reduce on-target activity. Adding TurboCas9 mutations to these enzymes can improve activity while maintaining off-target fidelity. Cell Reports Methods cell.com/cell-reports-m…

Better CRISPR base editors! More efficient nicking of the unedited DNA strand improves the ability to edit hard to reach bases. ACS Synthetic Bio pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…


Update! We outline AIVE, an AI method for volume EM data. We show the benefits of AIVE for reconstructing your FIB-SEM data, reveal some fascinating cell biology, and define intrusions as a new form of mitochondrial contact. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Muscle mito nanotunnels 1/3🧵
