Abstract

The IV Russian International Conference on Cryo-Electron Microscopy (RICCEM-2023) was held at the Faculty of Biology of Lomonosov Moscow State University in a hybrid online and offline format and brought together more than 250 researchers from 10 countries. Following the conference, a special issue of the journal “Moscow University Biological Sciences Bulletin” was published. This article summarizes the main results of the conference and the content of the papers published in the special issue.
