Connect structure with function with cryo-tomography
The interior of cells can be mysterious. Access the inner-workings of cells in 3D and at unprecedented nanoscale resolution using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). Cryo-ET avoids the alterations caused by conventional chemical fixation and dehydration resulting in the imaging of cellular morphology and proteins under fully hydrated, near-native conditions. Results from this technique are having profound effects on our understanding of cell biology, revealing native cellular architecture with molecular clarity.
