Finally out in @ScienceMagazine! I am so happy! Come and see the final dance of the meiotic condensates. @meiosis_papers @Pha_Tran_Papers @PPStasis @BioCondensates @CEITEC_Brno @Ceitec_CellimCF @MUNI_Science @muni_cz
Our work at @CEITEC_Brno describing a new role of P-bodies in cell fate transition is out in @ScienceMagazine Congratulations to @albert_is_here @anna_gnipova @nehashukla041 @PavlinaMikulko1 @SonaValuchova @JanaPecinkova and the entire team! 🧵 https://t.co/94l0eHVWZi

Not #Boechera! We used genomics + cytogenetics to reveal that the mysterious Boechera calcarea is actually Parryodes calcarea, a rare Asian member of the Arabideae tribe (Brassicaceae): https://t.co/Q5Ei1WOIY1

More than 2700 3′UTRs are highly conserved. These 3′UTRs are essential components in mRNA templates, as their deletion decreases protein activity without changing protein abundance. Highly conserved 3′UTRs help the folding of proteins with long IDRs. https://t.co/b6hd4AlIoX

More than 2,700 human mRNA 3′UTRs have hundreds of highly conserved (HC) nucleotides, but their biological roles are unclear. Here, we show that mRNAs with HC 3′UTRs mostly encode proteins with long...

Biomolecular condensates organize cellular contents. Most studies focus on passive phase separation, driven by salt, pH, or temperature. But what if intracellular movement also matters? https://t.co/wfdHcJ14AY Here, we explore motility-induced condensation in a cellular context.

The force generated by active transport modulates protein condensation.

"Science doesn´t always start with a hypothesis-sometimes it starts with wonder". I wrote about the moment I first observed P-bodies come alive and how that is shaping my journey into the world of condensates. Read more here: https://t.co/Hj35dI2xw3
