How do cells make decisions - without a brain? 🧠
Dr. Tom Peskett from our lab uncovered how networks of biomolecular condensates (P-bodies and Whi3) let yeast ‘decide’ when to divide, mate, or rest.
It’s a fascinating look at how cells compute their fates. Read the new paper in Molecular Cell!

A network of P-body and Whi3 condensates adjusts cell fate decisions to cellular context
Cells use information about their environments and internal states to decide whether to proliferate, differentiate, or enter non-proliferative states …
