    Cryo-electron tomography reveals the microtubule-bound form of inactive LRRK2

    Siyu Chen, Tamar Basiashvili ... Elizabeth Villa
    Full-length, autoinhibited LRRK2 assembles into distinct, shorter microtubule-bound filaments via a previously unobserved N-terminal repeat interface, revealing new structural states with potential therapeutic implications.

    The molecular infrastructure of glutamatergic synapses in the mammalian forebrain

    Julia Peukes, Charlie Lovatt ... René AW Frank
    CryoCLEM-guided cryoET of Psd95-GFP knockin mouse tissue and ultra-fresh synaptonerosomes indicate that the postsynaptic density is a not a conserved feature of glutamatergic synapses in the mouse brain.
