Technical tour de force: Orphan proteins in mitochondrial disease
In new findings in Nature, a team at the Morgridge Institute for Research and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis analyzed dozens of ‘orphan’ mitochondrial proteins and suggested functions for many of them — an important step to finding better ways to diagnose and treat poorly understood human conditions.
Game-changer: New tech could transform biotechnology
In new research in Nature Communications, the Joshua Coon Lab describes a game-changing advance that unites the power of mass spectrometry with the potential of electron microscopy (EM) — a finding that could transform biotechnology.
Illuminating Alzheimer’s disease through microscopy
Elizabeth Haynes recently joined the institute as a Morgridge Postdoctoral Research Fellow who is harnessing microscopy to model the early progression of Alzheimer’s disease in zebrafish. Haynes’s fellowship is a collaboration between the Kevin Eliceiri Lab and Tyler Ulland in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at UW–Madison.
