Yeast essential enzymes are able to assemble and form membrane-less compartments in the cytoplasm during stress conditions (Narayanaswamy et al., 2009). These microcompartments form rapidly under ATP-depletion upon cellular regulation of pH and molecular crowding (Munder et al., 2016). So far, the behavior of most of these enzymes has been characterized by live imaging using fluorescence […]

In situ cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and subtomogram averaging are powerful tools, able to provide 3D structures of biological samples at sub-nanometer resolution, while preserving information about cellular context and higher-order assembly. Best results are typically achieved, when applied to highly repetitive structures, such as viruses. Other typical examples are protein complexes that decorate long stretches along ciliary microtubules at […]

The recently presented Mappa dei Rischi dei Comuni Italiani is a freely accessible web portal, implemented by ISTAT, which provides integrated data on different natural risks in Italian municipalities together with socio-economic and demographic data We here illustrate two paradigmatic examples where the big data of the Mappa are transformed into smart data using advanced […]
