Excited to share that the first paper of my PhD work in @brangwynnelab is out! In this work @NatureComms, we focus on how condensates in the cell nucleus respond to mechanical deformation during cell confined migration, a process involved in cancer cell metastasis. (1/3)

@amsikking Volumetric imaging of 384 wells in a contact free format using an air lens. Importantly, the 3D imaging remains diffraction limited and distortion-free, despite the large refractive index mismatch from air to water.

Happy to share a new preprint! Ebola virus condensates don’t just contain viral RNA🧬 — they also capture and regulate host mRNAs , reshaping interferon responses and viral adaptation. #Virology #RNA #Condensates https://t.co/FEgR2m9WSp🧵👇

I’m thrilled to share our preprint that uses deep learning to interrogate structure-function relationships in condensates! https://t.co/izhFI1ANXa In here, we ask: can AI read condensate biology from pictures alone? Turns out yes... see what we discover below! 🤖🧬🖼️ (1/10)
