Transcriptional outputs and condensates – formation and function
Summary The dynamic spatiotemporal organization of macromolecules is key to the proper function of the cell, allowing the exquisite regulation of diverse processes from gene expression to enzymatic function. The formation of biomolecular condensates via phase separation (PS) acts as a general mechanism for selectively concentrating proteins, nucleic ...

A programmable 3D Neuron‐Injury‐on‐a‐Chip platform integrates multiaxial mechanical loading with ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensing to decode neuronal responses in real time. By mimicking physiologically relevant extension–torsion forces, the system reveals load‐specific biomarker trajectories (T‐Tau, NFL), gene regulation, and apoptosis.

Marginal Stability of the YB1 Cold‐Shock Domain in Cells Enables Binding of Multiple Nucleic Acids
This study suggests that the marginal stability of the YB1 Cold‐Shock Domain (CSDex) allows for a balance between multifunctionality and conformational changes under physiological conditions. This balance is driven by the dynamic equilibrium between the unfolded ensemble (UE) and the native ensemble (NE) of CSDex (PDB:6LMR).

The Importance of Being Imperfect: Structure and Function of Bacterial Amyloid
Functional bacterial amyloids such as CsgA and FapC have been widely studied to understand the relationship between aggregation and function. The recently solved structure of FapC reveals a Greek‐key motif in which extensive hydrogen bonding and packing interactions formed by residues in conserved imperfect repeats stabilize a β‐solenoid core.
