The paper shows that molecularly aged ribosomes alter translational dynamics by impairing elongation and increasing ribosome collisions during organismal aging.

This study investigates how BRD4 chromatin binding modulates its condensate formation, showing that chromatin interactions influence both kinetic and thermodynamic properties of BRD4 condensation.

The paper studies the timing of zygotic genome activation in Ciona intestinalis using FGF signaling and finds that two Prdm1 homologs are the earliest genes induced, with a sharp transition in FGF responsiveness between 8- and 16-cell stages.

The paper shows ERK signaling dissolves ERF repression condensates in Ciona embryos through dynamic phase separation regulated by cell signaling.
