New Title Alert: MemBrain-Seg is new to the #SBGrid software collection. This is a Python project developed by teamtomo for membrane segmentation in 3D for cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). This tool aims to provide researchers with an efficient and reliable method for segmenting membranes in 3D microscopic images.
