RNA-specific local translation is patterned by condensates for multinucleate cell growth

Zachary M. Geisterfer, Ameya P. Jalihal, Sierra J. Cole, Amy S. Gladfelter

The paper shows that Whi3 condensates regulate local translation in syncytial fungi, linking condensate composition and RNA features to spatially patterned translation during cell growth.
