I am so proud of this achievement for Sascha. If you want to know about his amazing work that led to this award check out his two preprints: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Structural basis for the ubiquitin chain recognition of the human 26S proteasome
Proteasomal degradation is a fundamental process for all eukaryotic life. A protein destined for degradation is first tagged with a polyubiquitin chain, which is selected by the proteasome. Different ...

Check out our preprint on the structural mechanisms of how LEM2 and ESCRTs seal the nuclear envelope. Awesome collaboration with @karenpalacior.bsky.social who brought my structures to life 💃🔬❄️🌀 @hummerlab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

PhIX-MS is out in Molecular Cell! Rapid in situ photo-crosslinking traps transient proteasome interactions before purification; crosslinking MS, cryo-EM and AlphaFold tell us where they bind. Paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.mo... Preview: doi.org/10.1016/j.mo...

Very happy to see the final version of our work on the structure and composition of cytoplasmic lattices in mouse embryos, previously shared on bioRxiv, now published in The EMBO Journal! Many thanks to our editor, Ieva Gailite, and the reviewers for their constructive input.

New preprint from the lab! Led by graduate student @lainahall.bsky.social we show a new method to thin cells for cryo-EM imaging with minimal damage. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Optimized cryo-FIB milling strategy to generate thin, minimally damaged biological lamellae
Focused ion beam (FIB)-milling has been adapted to thin frozen cells for visualization of macromolecular structures in situ with cryogenic electron microscopy. However, only a few large and abundant c...

Cells have evolved careful checks to ensure DNA is copied only once, but how they switch on replication at the right moment has been the focus of a thirty-year research question. Thanks to new work at the Crick, we’ve now recorded that missing step. www.crick.ac.uk/news/2026-06...

Excited to share our new preprint! 🧬❄️ by brilliant @mdreimann.bsky.social and great collaborators! Using cryo-ET&EM, we reveal archaeal chromatin in a near-native state: variable-beads-on-a-string fibers shaped by growth phase and histone composition #ArchaeaSky www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Cryo-ET gives unparalleled views of cellular structures, but targeted sample preparation by cryo-FIB milling has been a constraint. No longer! A new workflow yields close to 100% targeting success for centrioles & other small structures. Read the preprint ⤵️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
