Abstract
Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) allows high resolution 3D imaging of biological samples in near-native environments. Thus, cryo-ET has become the method of choice to analyze the unperturbed organization of cellular membranes. Here, we briefly discuss current cryo-ET workflows and their application to study membrane biology in situ, under basal and pathological conditions.
