Figure 1. Cryo-EM of abundant protein complexes in native membranes.
Figure 2. Cryo-EM of membrane proteins in vesicles.
Figure 3. 3D reconstruction of V-ATPase in native synaptic vesicle membranes.
Figure 4. Generation of membrane vesicles for structure determination of proteins in their native lipid bilayer.
I've written a review on what I think is an extremely exciting direction in cryo-EM:

The anti-tuberculosis drug bedaquiline targets the mycobacterial ATP synthase, but how that leads to bacterial death is unclear
Here the authors clarify how bedaquiline works
