The prion-like domain of the chloroplast RNA binding protein CP29A is required for cold-induced phase separation next to nucleoids and supports RNA splicing and translation during cold acclimation

This study shows that the prion-like domain of CP29A enables temperature-dependent phase separation in Arabidopsis, supporting RNA splicing and translation during cold acclimation.

Functionalized bead assay to measure 3-dimensional traction forces during T-cell activation

This paper develops a traction force microscopy platform to quantify local 3D traction forces exerted by T-cell microvilli during activation, linking force measurements to T-cell signaling.
