Lively poster session after a day full of talks (๐Ÿ˜…) by @drummondlab.bsky.social, Allie Obermeyer, @albertilab-tud.bsky.social, Sam Safran, and @tanjamittag.bsky.social at the #KITP biomol25 conference on biomolecular condensates. Great conversations between theorists and experimentalists!

Molecule Disarms Cellular Stress Granules Linked to ALS Discovery by researchers in Dresden and Edinburgh points to new understanding of the onset of ALS.

A team @mpi-cbg.de from @hymanlab.bsky.social & the @edinburghup.bsky.social (Richard Wheeler group) has identified the molecule lipoamide that can prevent the formation of pathological stress granules - protein-rich condensates associated with cellular stress and ALS. www.mpi-cbg.de/news-outreac...

Trigger warning: FOMO

How often do you go to a conference where you are excited about EVERY SINGLE TALK! Well, I guess it helps if you get to make the program. ๐Ÿ˜€

"Biomolecular condensates: From fundamental principles to applications in health and biotech" kicking off at 9 AM!

Backbone-mediated weakening of pairwise interactions enables percolation in peptide-based mimics of protein condensates - Communications Chemistry Biomolecular condensates formed by intrinsically disordered protein condensates are known to be semidilute solutions, however, the molecular interactions in the dilute versus dense phases remain under...

All atom simulations of peptides were used to investigate differences in pair interactions in dilute vs. dense phase mimics of condensates. Backbone-mediated interactions were found to weaken pairwise associations in dense phases giving rise to percolated networks. doi.org/10.1038/s420...

Just finished this review by @alexholehouse.bsky.social & @albertilab-tud.bsky.social. Balanced, careful about overstatements or ambiguities, but also bold in making proposals as to how these things called condensates work, or how me might understand them, in an approximated but useful way, to work.
