#FluorescenceFriday #cellbiology #bioart The interior of the cell is a busy place, as seen by grazing incidence structured illumination microscopy at 30 frames per minute: Lysosomes (green) can become corralled by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER, magenta), but can also remodel the

⚠️New preprint alert✨ biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Condensate's function relies on how well it can retain a biomolecule, which is governed by diffusion. However, intra-condensate diffusion remains largely unknown, especially for RNA in RNP condensates. Here, we used full-length

Congrats to Dr. ⁦Saaj Chattopadhyay⁩ Chattopadhyay on today’s PhD thesis defense!! #Chirality #Plasmonics #SingleMolecule 🎉

Our latest publication~~ We previously showed differential organization of nuclear speckle components. Now we demonstrate differential organization of different sequence regions of speckle-localized transcripts with super-res imaging! cell.com/iscience/fullt…

Wonderful to see Christopher Azaldegui and Y Hoang's experimental framework to assess biomolecular condensates in bacteria with quantitative microscopy, #superresolution imaging, and cell biology out in Nature Communications today. Anthony Vecchiarelli, it's been a wild ride! rdcu.be/dELa6

After a nice alumni keynote by department alumnus Blane Zavesky, Michigan Chemistry awards ceremony presents the American Chemical Society Physical Chemistry award to our undergrad Molly Goldwasser - congrats!!

🎉🥳✨ Excited to share my first preprint on bioRxiv !! "Ultrasensitive amplification-free quantification of a methyl CpG-rich cancer biomarker by single-molecule kinetic fingerprinting", a new digital single-molecule method enabling amplification-free detection of DNA

Thrilled to announce my main PhD research is out in nature. We discovered how, by tweaking exciton wavefunctions & vibrational localization, we can decouple exciton-phonon coupling in organic molecules at high frequencies. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Great dissertation defense by Guoming Gao Michigan Biophysics - congrats Dr. Gao! Thanks committee members Sarah Veatch, Puck Ohi & Kevin Wood for guidance along the way. Time to celebrate! UMich RNA Center 〽️🧬 University of Michigan Michigan Chemistry

Riboswitches integrate all types of cellular signal, from ligand binding to transcription factor regulation. Check our newly published work in Nature Communications from Nils Walter Lab nature.com/articles/s4146…

Thrilled to share some news! 🎉🎉 I'll be speaking at the 2024 RiboClub Annual Meeting on Sep 30 - Oct 04, 2024. Will be a great meeting of the minds - I would love to see you there! - via #Whova Event Platform tinyurl.com/2cx3ehkz

In Science Magazine - great collaborative work w/ AlbertW_lab & Rappsilber laboratory showing that bacterial RNA polymerase can thread nascent mRNA into the pioneering ribosome from two sides for higher translation initiation efficiency - target for antibiotics? eurekalert.org/news-releases/…

Latest work on RNA condensation from the Banerjee lab, led by a superstar graduate student, Tharun Mahendran. Biomolecular condensates can enhance RNA percolation, leading to the emergence of multi-phasic RNA condensates. nature.com/articles/s4155…
