We have determined a cryo-EM structure of the laminin polymer node, the basic repeating unit of the laminin lattice. The structure reveals fundamental molecular mechanisms of calcium-dependent formation of laminin lattice, and provides detailed insight into polymerization defects manifesting in human disease. The study has been recently published in Nature Communication. You will find more information here: (Click here).

Arek will be co-chairing a session focused on cryo-EM during the virtual Eastern Regional Network (ERN) meeting held on June 8-11. You will find more information here (Click here).
The ERN gathers more than forty participating institutions in the Northeast including: HPC centers, universities, consortia, network providers and cloud service providers. The ERN is committed to providing access to broad range of computing resources across the region that are not available on any one campus alone. Kulczyk lab acts as a science driver for cryo-EM within the ERN.
