Researchers from @topf-lab.bsky.social, @embl.org, and IIT have visualised how a large RNA molecule assembles itself into a functional machine, revealing a dynamic choreography that helps us better understand structural folding and misfolding, almost frame by frame.

Using a combination of X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM, a new study from @landaulabcssb.bsky.social shows that amyloids,form different structures that could be useful as a natural mechanism of immune protection.

The Barisch lab held a 2 week practical module called 'Molecular Master Thieves' including an excursion to FZB. It was amazing & inspiring to see the students' enthusiasm & curiosity.

We wish you all the best for your bright careers!
