Many condensates can be described as active soft materials that generate molecular fluxes. Here we develop a new #nonequilibrium approach (TRACE) to study molecular transport through condensates! Work led by Yashraj Wani!!

Very insightful reconsideration what Stress Granules might actually be good for!

Going back to the fundamentals & questions arising from Susan Lindquist's and Nancy Kedersha's work.

Amazing talk & scholarship by @drummondlab.bsky.social!

Biomolecular condensate viscoelasticity is dictated by the interplay between single-molecule shape memory and mesh reconfigurability Biomolecular condensates are membraneless organelles that compartmentalize biological functions in living cells. Formed by the phase separation of biomolecules, condensates possess a wide range of mec...

Is there a way to directly connect microstructural dynamics of condensates to their mechanical response?

In his new pre-print, Pablo presents a β€œcondensate Deborah number” that does just that!

Theory of Condensate Size Control by Molecular Charge Asymmetry Biomolecular condensates are complex droplets comprising diverse molecules that interact by various mechanisms. Condensation is often driven by short-range attraction, but net charges can also mediate...

Out now in #ACSMacroLett: we demonstrate how molecular charge asymmetry can control the size of condensates! Work done in collaboration with @zwickergroup.bsky.social!!
