Finally done! Thank Stefan Raunser and all Raunser group members for the joyful and fruitful years at MPI Dortmund! Look forward to future challenges!


Here we present tomoBEAR - our workflow for processing cryo-ET data for solving structures in situ. It helps us a lot in our group and we are happy to share it. Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Presented by: Nikita Nikita Balyschew Artsemi Artsemi Yushkevich Vasilii @mikahydrolysis et al


1/3 We have finally solved the mystery of Tc toxin secretion in the Stefan Raunser lab at MPI Dortmund! A few differentiated "soldier" cells per bacterial population produce these remarkable, ribosome-sized killer #nanomachines - and release them by exploding!

Have you ever wondered how really large protein complexes are secreted from bacteria? Here we demonstrate how 2.4 MDa Tc toxins are secreted by Yersinia entomophaga. Check out the masterpiece of Oleg Sitsel

Have you ever wanted to determine protein structures directly inside cells using #cryoET? Then you should apply! We have Postdoc positions available MPI Dortmund #teamtomo #structuralbiology Max Planck Society More info here: nature.com/naturecareers/… #jobs

For his PhD MPI Dortmund/Stefan Raunser, Zhexin (Eric) Wang established a new approach to visualise sarcomeres using electron cryo-tomography & cryo-focused ion beam milling to get the 1st molecular picture of mammalian muscle sarcomeres. Watch his Birnstiel Award talk: 📺youtu.be/5MTe5erpITk


One of them is from our lab: Zhexin (Eric) Wang! We are very happy for him receiving the medal!!!!

It is my great honour to receive the Otto Hahn Medal! It has been my dream since I started my PhD. Thanks again my PhD supervisor Stefan Raunser! And thank @AndreaMusacchi1 for the laudation at the ceremony

Tomographic structures of ribosomes from the inside of human cells at decent resolution reveal translation dynamics.
