The paper models nuclear division in a branching fungal network to show that asynchronous cycles and density-responsive branching stabilize nuclear density.

The paper investigates how RNA-protein binding site context, not just valence, affects biomolecular condensate properties in Ashbya gossypii.

The paper develops a genetic algorithm to study how synonymous mutations affect mRNA structure and reveals a physical code in the genetic code that influences RNA-protein complex properties.

The paper shows that temperature affects the material properties of Whi3 condensates in fungi, which are optimized by sequence changes for specific climates.
