Colorful 3D-image of a spiral protein structure, with blurring to indicate that the structure moves between two conformational shapes. Junko Yano Two reconstructions of imaging: one soft x-ray tomographic reconstruction showing misfolded proteins in the cytoplasm being engulfed by vacuoles, the cell’s protein degradation machinery, and one super-resolution, visible-light microscopy reconstruction showing misfolded proteins being extruded from the nucleus toward a vacuole through a nuclear-vacuolar junction. Colorful illustration of spherical lipid nanoparticles.
