(A) 3D reconstruction of a mitotic cells from prophase to cytokinesis, highlighting the cell membrane (grey), nucleus (blue) and chromosomes (purple). (B) Metaphase cell superimposed on a z-stack slice showing chromosomal volumetric progression; descending shades of purple denote size (large, >3 μm3; medium, 2–3 μm3; small: <2 μm3), with sex-linked chromosomes in dark pink.

How does mitosis look in its native environment?
New article from our group: we used volume EM to describe the 3D ultrastructure of dividing cells in a real tissue context. Congratulations to Nick, Sai and all the collaborators. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Detailed structural mapping of the bacteriophage Bas63 advances understanding of phage biology, supporting targeted design for applications in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. doi.org/g996jd
Bacteriophage characterization provides platform for rational design
From medicine to agriculture and aquaculture, bacteriophages are poised to have a huge global impact. As viruses which target only bacterial cells, they hold promise as an alternative to antibiotics, overcoming increasing issues around antibiotic resistance.
