Selective RNA sequestration in biomolecular condensates directs cell fate transitions

Patrizia Pessina, Mika Nevo, Junchao Shi, Srikanth Kodali, Eduard Casas, Yingzhi Cui, Alicia Richards, Emily J. Park, Xi Chen, Florencia Levin-Ferreyra, Alejandra Rivera Tostado, Erica J. Stevenson, Nevan J. Krogan, Danielle L. Swaney, Qi-Long Ying, , Bruno Di Stefano

The paper profiles RNA content in P-bodies across vertebrate species, showing that RNA sequestration in condensates is linked to cell fate transitions through miRNA-dependent mechanisms.
