🎉 I'm thrilled to announce that the Ðonlić Lab has officially opened this month in the BMB department @wusm-bmb.bsky.social at @washumedicine.bsky.social! The lab will study how condensates shape RNA interactions, therapeutic activity, and disease progression. And - we're hiring! 👇

I'm so excited to share our preprint! We asked a deceptively simple question: how do cationic cell-penetrating peptides (+CPPs) - found in immunity, venoms, and disease actually enter cells? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Lipoproteins modulate the uptake and biological function of cationic cell-penetrating peptides across the animal lineage.
Cationic cell-penetrating peptides (+CPPs) are pervasive killer peptides produced by all animals and found in innate immune systems, venoms and neurodegenerative diseases. Despite their ubiquity, the ...

Thrilled to see our Deep-Phase paper now online in @cellcellpress.bsky.social! 🎉 The final version expands Deep-Phase across labeling modalities, adds dual-condensate imaging to dissect pathway specificity, and shows greater robustness to batch effects than classical image-analysis methods.

Some molecular machines, like ribosomes, can persist for long periods of time in cells. Could molecular aging of ribosomes shape how proteins are made? In our new preprint we track ribosomes as they age in cells and uncover unexpected effects on translation (1/10) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I’m thrilled to share our preprint that uses deep learning to interrogate structure-function relationships in condensates! biorxiv.org/content/10.1... In here, we ask: can AI read condensate biology from pictures alone? Turns out yes... see what we discover below! 🤖🧬🖼️ (1/10)
