Amazing and so well-deserved! Congrats Alex!

New in @pnas.org with @gladfelterlab.bsky.social @sneadlab.bsky.social ! 📢

Cells use condensates (dynamic compartments without membranes) to organize key reactions. Some condensates have core & shell layers… but how do such layers form? 🤔

Our paper on the spatial organization of nuclear paraspeckles is out in #PNAS! Excited to see what comes next from the teams of @shrinivaslab.bsky.social and @sneadlab.bsky.social at Northwestern! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2504778122

Excited to share the first review paper from the Snead lab! On the many ways that condensate-membrane interactions impact cellular functions: authors.elsevier.com/a/1l9fx_Ljpb...

Immiscible proteins compete for RNA binding to order condensate layers Biomolecular condensates mediate diverse and essential cellular functions by compartmentalizing biochemical pathways. Many condensates have internal subdomains with distinct compositional identities. ...

Excited to share our first story on nuclear paraspeckles! Led by @sneadlab.bsky.social, this is the culmination of a ~4 year effort in collab. with @shrinivaslab.bsky.social. Can’t wait to see more paraspeckle stories from the future Snead Lab at Northwestern 🫧 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
