This study shows that varying the number of binding motifs in a disordered protein affects pyrenoid assembly and algal fitness.

The paper shows that aggresomes in E. coli store mRNA under stress, aiding rapid recovery by protecting mRNA from degradation and facilitating translation reactivation.

The paper introduces COMBI-Tweez, a tool combining optical and magnetic tweezers with fluorescence microscopy to study the structural dynamics of single chiral biopolymers like DNA under mechanical forces.

This study develops a molecular model to investigate how hydrophobicity drives amyloid beta aggregation, showing that A{beta}1-42 enrichment in plaques is due to hydrophobic interactions promoting phase separation.
