PubMed AbstractCombining three-dimensional (3D) visualization with elemental analysis of vitrified cells can provide crucial insights into subcellular structures and elemental compositions in their native ...Combining three-dimensional (3D) visualization with elemental analysis of vitrified cells can provide crucial insights into subcellular structures and elemental compositions in their native environments. We present a coordinated approach using cryogenic electron energy loss spectroscopy (cryoEELS) and cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET) to characterize the elemental distribution and ultrastructure of vitrified cells. We applied this method to examine calcium disposition in the mitochondria of cultured human retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) exposed to pro-calcifying conditions relevant to optic disc drusen pathology. Our cryoEELS analysis revealed mitochondrial granules with elevated calcium signals, offering direct evidence of mitochondrial calcification. Additionally, cryoET coupled with artificial intelligence-based analysis enabled quantification of the volume and spatial distribution of these calcium granules. This integrated workflow can be broadly applied to various cell types, facilitating the study of ultrastructure and elemental distribution in subcellular structures under diverse physiological and pathological conditions, as well as in response to therapeutic interventions.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Jul 12, 2017. Major update of PDB

Major update of PDB

  • wwPDB released updated PDB data conforming to the new PDBx/mmCIF dictionary.
  • This is a major update changing the version number from 4 to 5, and with Remediation, in which all the entries are updated.
  • In this update, many items about electron microscopy experimental information are reorganized (e.g. em_software).
  • Now, EM Navigator and Yorodumi are based on the updated data.
