Substrate recognition, not sequestration, drives the engagement of an H3K9 methyltransferase in living cells

This study shows that Clr4's engagement with chromatin in S. pombe is driven by substrate recognition, not sequestration, through guided search behavior.

Stress Changes the Material State of a Bacterial Biomolecular Condensate and Shifts its Function from mRNA Decay to Storage

The paper shows stress causes bacterial BR-bodies to switch from mRNA decay to storage by changing their physical state and function.

HP-Bodies - Ancestral Condensates that Regulate RNA Turnover and Protein Translation in Bacteria

The paper identifies polyphosphate as a scaffold for phase-separated condensates in bacteria and humans, showing its role in RNA turnover and translation.

TropD-Detector: A CRISPR/LbCas12a-Based system for rapid and sensitive screening of Trypanosoma cruzi in Chagas vectors and reservoirs

The paper develops a CRISPR/LbCas12a-based system for detecting Trypanosoma cruzi in vectors and reservoirs, achieving high sensitivity and introducing a fluorescent detection prototype.
