Claim 1 of 5Not checkedResearchers from Julia Mahamid's EMBL Heidelberg group used cryo-electron tomography to visualize how different cellular processes are connected, and the findings were published in two Cell papers.View evidenceHide evidence
Not checked
The source study was found, but this claim couldn't be checked against it.
Claim 2 of 5Not checkedOne paper used cryo-ET to image Mycoplasma pneumoniae and reconstruct high-resolution maps of ribosomes across hundreds of individual cells, observing new complexes that connect transcription with translation.View evidenceHide evidence
As statedhundreds of individual cells
Not checked
The source study was found, but this claim couldn't be checked against it.
Claim 3 of 5Not checkedThe study suggests ribosome subunits can remain attached to the cell membrane even when they are not producing proteins, and may detach only when conditions allow a new round of protein production to begin.View evidenceHide evidence
Not checked
The source study was found, but this claim couldn't be checked against it.
Claim 4 of 5Not checkedThe other paper reports a new bacterial protein-transport and folding complex at the cell membrane that includes the Sec-translocon plus three previously unknown proteins.View evidenceHide evidence
As statedthree previously unknown proteins
Not checked
The source study was found, but this claim couldn't be checked against it.
Claim 5 of 5Not checkedThe researchers say the work provides the most detailed images so far of the conserved part of the bacterial protein transport machinery and links protein transport to a newly discovered protein-folding system outside the cell in Mycoplasma pneumoniae.View evidenceHide evidence
As statedmost detailed images so far
