Summary

Cryofibrinogen-associated glomerulonephritis (CryoFiGN) is a rare kidney disease. Electron microscopy is crucial for diagnosing CryoFiGN, which can progress from kidney-limited disease to systemic vasculitis.

Cryo-electron Microscopy

Conventional electron microscopy (EM) involves dehydration, fixation, and staining of biological samples, which distorts the native state of biological molecules and results in several artifacts. Also, the high-energy electron beam damages the sample and makes it difficult to obtain high-resolution images. These issues can be addressed using cryo-EM, which uses frozen samples and gentler electron beams. The technique was developed by Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank, and Richard Henderson, for...
