Cryo-electron tomograms capture a wealth of structural information on the molecular constituents
of cells and tissues. We present DeePiCt (deep picker in context), an open-source deep…

Spatially controlled cell adhesion on electron microscopy supports remains a bottleneck in
specimen preparation for cellular cryo-electron tomography. Here, we describe contactless …

Contractile actomyosin networks are responsible for the production of intracellular forces.
There is increasing evidence that bundles of actin filaments form interconnected and …

To navigate within the geomagnetic field, magnetotactic bacteria synthesize magnetosomes,
which are unique organelles consisting of membrane-enveloped magnetite nanocrystals. In …

Background The navigation of magnetotactic bacteria relies on specific intracellular organelles,
the magnetosomes, which are membrane-enclosed crystals of magnetite aligned into a …

Magnetotactic bacteria maneuver within the geomagnetic field by means of intracellular
magnetic organelles, magnetosomes, which are aligned into a chain and positioned at midcell …

Magnetosomes are natural magnetic nanoparticles with exceptional properties that are
synthesized in magnetotactic bacteria by a highly regulated biomineralization process. Their …

Recently, the photosynthetic Rhodospirillum rubrum has been endowed with the ability of
magnetosome biosynthesis by transfer and expression of biosynthetic gene clusters from the …

Phages are bacteria targeting viruses and represent the most abundant biological entities
on earth. Marine environments are exceptionally rich in bacteriophages, harboring a total of …

Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense is a helix-shaped magnetotactic bacterium that
synthesizes iron-oxide nanocrystals, which allow navigation along the geomagnetic field. The …
