In a breakthrough discovery, a new thing in cell biology called a hemifusome has come to light. It showed up when researchers used cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), it’s one of the ways to take super-detailed 3D images of cells while they’re still in a fairly natural state. Unlike traditional electron microscopy, which involves a lot of processing that can mess with delicate structures, cryo-ET keeps things closer to how they actually are in living cells. It was Dr. Seham Ebrahim and her team who used this method to uncover hemifusomes in…
