Electron cryo-tomography (cryo-ET) is a powerful imaging tool that allows three-dimensional visualization of subcellular architecture. During morphological analysis, reliable tomogram segmentation can only be achieved through high-quality data. However, unlike single-particle analysis or subtomogram averaging, the field lacks a useful quantitative measurement of cellular tomogram quality.

Article Synopsis
  • PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are persistent chemicals found in humans, linked to health issues like immune problems and cancer.
  • Research shows PFAS bind differently to key blood proteins (HSA and globulins) based on the length of their carbon chains, affecting their transport and toxicity.
  • The varying levels of PFAS binding in individuals highlight the importance of these proteins in studying the health impacts of PFAS exposure.
