It was such a pleasure writing this with @incarnatolab.bsky.social! There has been so much exciting progress in probing the complexity of RNA folding in cells. Although we couldn't cover it all, we did our best to highlight several major emerging areas. I’m excited to see where the field goes next!

Thrilled to share the latest review I had the incredible pleasure to write together with @amustoe.bsky.social, out today in #COSB, about probing #RNA structural ensembles, non-equilibrium intermediates and isoforms. Check it out: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hello Bluesky 🤠 Our very first post is about our recent paper in Nucleic Acids Research: so-called PUN motifs are repetitive elements enabling proteins to catalyze #RNA folding and RNA-dependent #condensate formation ( #LLPS). 15% of human proteins contain 3 or more PUN motifs. See bit.ly/4fZ3f54.
