Authors Cramer P Journal Cell Citation Cell. 2019 Oct 31;179(4):808-812. Abstract This year we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the three eukaryotic RNA polymerases. Ever since this seminal event in 1969, researchers have investigated the intricate mechanisms of gene transcription with great dedication. The transcription field continues

Authors Töpperwien M, Markus A, Alves F, Salditt T Journal NeuroImage Citation Neuroimage. 2019;199:70-80. Abstract Knowledge of the three-dimensional (3d) neuronal cytoarchitecture is an important factor in order to understand the connection between tissue structure and function or to visualize pathological changes in neurodegenerative diseases or tumor development. The gold

Authors Cramer P Journal Nature Citation Nature. 2019 Sep;573(7772):45-54. Abstract The regulated transcription of genes determines cell identity and function. Recent structural studies have elucidated mechanisms that govern the regulation of transcription by RNA polymerases during the initiation and elongation phases. Microscopy studies have revealed that transcription involves the condensation

Authors Stephan T, Roesch A, Riedel D, Jakobs S Journal Scientific Reports Citation Sci Rep. 2019 Aug 27;9(1):12419. Abstract Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that exhibit a complex inner architecture. They exhibit a smooth outer membrane and a highly convoluted inner membrane that forms invaginations called cristae. Imaging cristae in

Authors Gregor I, Chizhik A, Karedla N, Enderlein J Journal Nanophotonics Citation Nanophotonics, 8(10), 1689-1699. Abstract Since about a decade, metal-induced energy transfer (MIET) has become a tool to measure the distance of fluorophores to a metal-coated surface with nanometer accuracy. The energy transfer from a fluorescent molecule to surface
