Multimodal spectroscopy (smFRET, EPR, SAXS, and SANS) and integrative structural modeling reveal large-scale domain rearrangements in human guanylate binding protein 1 (hGBP1) that are driving forces for the formation of oligomers that enable its biological function in innate immune defense.
Computer visualization techniques developed for video games can be repurposed to enable viewers to explore cells and their environment in three dimensions.

Using advanced volume electron microscopy, the ultrastructural and spatial organisation of Leishmania parasites strongly adhered to the gut of its sand fly vector was defined.
METTL18 methylates histidine 245 of ribosomal protein RPL3, retards ribosome traversal at tyrosine codons, and thus ensures nascent protein folding for proteostasis maintenance.
