It was great fun speaking with Debbie Toiber and @barakrotblat.bsky.social on my path to science and why studying aging is so important to me. open.spotify.com/episode/2brg...

Got to love studies that were clearly conducted "for the love of the game" (โ€œself-decapitating sea slugsโ€, โ€œplants that see and use that for mimicryโ€, โ€œworms that jump in the airโ€, aka papers you sometimes find in @currentbiology.bsky.social
) References to all of this bellow๐Ÿ‘‡

Cytoplasmic crowding acts as a porous medium reducing macromolecule diffusion Intracellular transport of macromolecules is crucial for the proper functioning of most cellular processes. Although intracellular crowding is known to strongly alter macromolecule mobility, how cytop...

To what extent does crowding modulate diffusion across the cytoplasm?
