The paper introduces BLOC, a modular organ-on-a-chip system that allows flexible configuration for diverse applications in MPS research.

The paper shows that gravity and mechanical forces influence mitochondrial translation by affecting signaling pathways and malonylation of the translational machinery.

The paper develops mito-FUNCAT-FACS to measure mitochondrial translation activity in individual cells and detects heterogeneity in cancer cells.

The paper introduces UPA-Seq, a method to predict functional lncRNAs by measuring their differential sensitivity to UV crosslinking, finding that lncRNAs with greater UV sensitivity associate more with PrLD-containing proteins.
