• Millisecond cryo-trapping simplifies time-resolved crystallography
  Scientists from four research institutes in the Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld have joined forces to develop a ground-breaking experimental setup. Their new Spitrobot greatly simplifies observing ...

• Funding for researchers working on plastic recycling enzymes
  The number of new and poorly characterised proteins available in metagenomic databases, such as EMBL-EBI's MGnify, is in the billions and growing rapidly as new data from different environments is ...

• Viewing the Virus Close Up
  Advancing research into how viruses penetrate and act on human cells requires powerful cell imaging approaches. Soft X-ray microscopy is particularly suitable but has so far not been widely availab...

• Indirect impacts of a pandemic on women in science
  On 9 September, EMBL hosted a conference to discuss the indirect impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on women in science. As one of the speakers noted, the pandemic has been a torrential storm. But...
• Nuclear pores in their natural context
  The architecture of the nuclear pore complex differs inside cells compared to its form observed in vitro studies, and increases our understanding of crucial processes of life. Scientists from t...
• Investigating the structure and mechanisms of coronavirus biomolecules
  Researchers at EMBL Grenoble are using structural biology methods to provide mechanistic insights into SARS-CoV-2 and test potential drug candidates. By studying the detailed molecular structure of...

• Photo-micropatterning advances structural cell biology
  Scientists in the Mahamid group, together with the Théry lab at CytomorphoLab, France, have developed a new technique that allows spatially controlled cell adhesion and the manipulation of cell sha...

• New ways to look at protein-RNA networks
  For their vital tasks, all RNA molecules in our cells require proteins as binding partners. Scientists at the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) and colleagues f...

• Hope to fight antibiotic resistance
  Keeping bacterial chromosomes tangled could offer hope in developing novel approaches to treating bacterial infections. Growing levels of antibiotic resistance pose a serious threat to global publi...

• New technique uses X-rays to find landmarks when combining fluorescence and electron microscopy
  Imagine that your dog buried your wedding ring in the backyard, but you do not know where. Scientists face a similar challenge when they want to analyse individual cells located deep within tissues...
• Naturally formed crystals can diffract X-rays
  While structural biologists are familiar with the concept of growing protein crystals in the lab for X-ray crystallography experiments, many may not know that some organisms produce crystals natura...

• Ground-breaking microscopy techniques shed new light on how cells perform endocytosis
  The process of endocytosis generates bubble-like membrane vesicles that surround the molecules to be ingested and move them from the cell surface into the cell. In this study, published in Developm...

• X-ray study reveals workings of potential alternative to antibiotics
  Research at DESY's X-ray light source PETRA III reveals how certain viruses called bacteriophages kill the potentially life threatening diarrhoea bacterium Clostridium difficile. The study by scien...
• How immune cells use steroids
  Researchers at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute have discovered that some immune cells turn themselves off by producing a steroid. The findin...

• First green, then red - Fluorescent dye timer tells the age of proteins
  In many diseases, from infections through to cancer, the protein metabolism in the cell is defective. Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the Center for Molecular Biology of H...

• Constant overlap: EMBL scientists identify molecular machinery that maintains important feature of the spindle
  During cell division, microtubules emanating from each of the spindle poles meet and overlap in the spindle's midzone. Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, ...
