Seeing cancer in 3D
Cryo-EM is continuing to revolutionize our understanding of cancer and cancer treatments. Over the past several years, scientists are using cryo-EM in remarkable ways to uncover new cancer pathways, obtain atomic-level descriptions of key cancer proteins, and provide a framework for improving pharmaceutical interventions. Cryo-EM allows researchers to freeze biomolecules in their native conformations and visualize protein interactions. Scientists can use cryo-EM to capture different stages of biochemical reactions instead of just the pre-reaction and end states. With structural insights, researchers can better understand the conditions required for cancer cell growth and identify new ways to treat cancer.
Watch, read, or listen as we sit down with some of your peers using cryo-EM to discover how the technology is helping them gain a better understanding of cancer.
