In situ cryo-electron tomography: a post-reductionist approach to structural biology

S Asano, BD Engel, W Baumeister - Journal of molecular biology, 2016 - Elsevier
Cryo-electron tomography is a powerful technique that can faithfully image the native
cellular environment at nanometer resolution. Unlike many other imaging approaches, cryo-…

Identification of a broadly fibrogenic macrophage subset induced by type 3 inflammation

T Fabre, AMS Barron, SM Christensen, S Asano… - Science …, 2023 - science.org
Macrophages are central orchestrators of the tissue response to injury, with distinct macrophage
activation states playing key roles in fibrosis progression and resolution. Identifying key …

Nanoscale imaging of RNA with expansion microscopy

…, AT Wassie, AJ Cote, A Sinha, S Alon, S Asano… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
The ability to image RNA identity and location with nanoscale precision in intact tissues is of

Iterative expansion microscopy

…, YG Yoon, EE Jung, H Babcock, JS Kang, S Asano… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
We recently developed a method called expansion microscopy, in which preserved
biological specimens are physically magnified by embedding them in a densely crosslinked …

A molecular census of 26S proteasomes in intact neurons

S Asano, Y Fukuda, F Beck, A Aufderheide, F Förster… - Science, 2015 - science.org
The 26S proteasome is a key player in eukaryotic protein quality control and in the regulation
