Awesome work @LomvardasLab !!.
Thrilled to see this out! Solid phase transitions hold interchromosomal enhancer hubs together for life. The amazing @JoanPulupa and Natalie McArthur combined forces to discover a new type of condensate that remains intact for days in olfactory neurons.

Happy to share our new paper in @NatureMicrobiol on mapping spatial relationships of the human gut microbiome. We identified distinct spatial hubs between gut bacteria that reflect sub-community assemblies at the micron-scale. Led by Miles Richardson & co.
