The paper shows bacterial ribonucleoprotein bodies (BR-bodies) maintain an acidic pH environment, enhancing enzyme activity and suggesting pH regulation as a mechanism for RNA processing.

This study shows aminoglycoside antibiotics induce RNA phase separation through multivalent binding, revealing a potential mechanism for their bactericidal activity and toxicity.

This study introduces a method to map solvent polarity landscapes within biomolecular condensates and shows how internal solvent organization affects material properties and molecular behavior.

This study uses holographic microscopy to analyze how multivalent ions affect the growth and dynamics of PopZ condensates, revealing deviations from classical models and highlighting the technique's advantages.

The paper introduces PEPCy, photostable fluoromodules that enhance cyanine dye photostability for live-cell super-resolution microscopy of surface proteins.
