Key role for Leukaemia inhibitory factor in systemic immunity
Led by Mayuri Gogoi, Andrew McKenzie’s group in the LMB’s PNAC Division have determined that the cytokine LIF production by type-2 innate lymphoid cells dictates the movement of immune cells from the site of lung infection or chronic allergic reaction, thereby regulating tissue localised versus systemic immunity.
Cryo-EM grids developed by Katerina Naydenova and Chris Russo win at the 2024 Microscopy Today Innovation Awards
The gold HexAuFoil® grids, developed by Katerina Naydenova and Chris Russo in the LMB’s Structural Studies Division, eliminate specimen movement during cryo-EM imaging and can be produced to meet the huge global demand. The HexAuFoil® grids, which were licensed to Quantifoil Micro Tools GmbH, are one of ten winners at the 2024 Microscopy Today Innovation […]
Combining single molecule-imaging and cryo-EM resolves DNA repair mystery
Lori Passmore’s group in the LMB’s Structural Studies Division have identified the molecular mechanism by which the FANCD2-FANCI protein complex, which acts as a travelling DNA clamp, is able to identify sites of DNA strand damage and mark them for repair.
