TL;DR: Cryo-electron microscopy of vitreous sections is used to perform a detailed ultrastructural analysis of three species belonging to the Corynebacterineae suborder and shows a direct visualization of an outer membrane, analogous to that found in gram-negative bacteria, in the three bacterial species examined.

TL;DR: The x-ray structure of the amino-terminal domain of SAS-6 is determined from zebrafish, and it is shown that recombinant SAS- 6 self-associates in vitro into assemblies that resemble cartwheel centers, consistent with the notion that centriole formation in vivo depends on the interactions that define the self-assemblies observed here.

TL;DR: The detailed analysis of the synapse reveals that the density of material in the synaptic cleft is high, even higher than in the cytoplasm, and that it is organized in 8.2-nm periodic transcleft complexes.

TL;DR: The filamentous structures that tether exocytic vesicles to the plasma membrane in the active zone are rearranged in response to synaptic stimulation.

TL;DR: Cryo-electron microscopy structures of three conformational intermediates and of the final aerolysin pore are reported, jointly providing insight into the conformational changes that allow pore formation.
