    Defocus Corrected Large Area Cryo-EM (DeCo-LACE) for label-free detection of molecules across entire cell sections

    Johannes Elferich, Giulia Schiroli ... Nikolaus Grigorieff
    Cryo-electron microscopy can be used to detect biomolecules in entire 100- to 250-nm-thick cell slices when using a method to collect montages that prevents radiation damage in areas that have not been imaged yet.

    Working strokes produced by curling protofilaments at disassembling microtubule tips can be biochemically tuned and vary with species

    Lucas E Murray, Haein Kim ... Charles L Asbury
    Laser trap measurements show that mechanical work output from curling protofilaments is enhanced by adding magnesium, and that yeast microtubules generate larger and more energetic working strokes than bovine microtubules.

    The large GTPase Sey1/atlastin mediates lipid droplet- and FadL-dependent intracellular fatty acid metabolism of Legionella pneumophila

    Dario Hüsler, Pia Stauffer ... Hubert Hilbi
    Intracellular growth of the bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila in the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum implicates a bacterial fatty acid transporter as well as dynamic interactions of the distinct membrane-bound replication compartment with host cell lipid droplets.
