Is there a way to directly connect microstructural dynamics of condensates to their mechanical response? In his new pre-print, Pablo presents a “condensate Deborah number” that does just that! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

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!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

How does protein folding change inside biomolecular condensates? Our new preprint put forwards a framework for predicting this!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 work by the talented @nathanieldhess.bsky.social
