Check out our Roadmap for Condensates in Cell Biology 💧 🧫, which summarizes the stimulating discussions we had at @KITP_UCSB last summer! 🤓🌴
Big thanks to @ZwickerGroup for leading this effort!

Like every time, I had fun reading this foundational phase separation paper from the Rosen lab
Happy to see this coming out at JCB!
Rongwei Zhao et al. @lab_zhang @CarnegieMellon show that, in #cancer cells using the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway, #SUMO levels at #telomeres influence the formation of ALT-associated PML bodies. hubs.la/Q03GK3qh0

📢The third interview in @SDutta_2904’s ‘Asian Microscopists and Cell Biologists’ interview series is with Huaiying Zhang @lab_zhang. We hear about Huaiying’s career path, her research on condensates and her advice for young scientists. focalplane.biologists.com/20…

@rongweiz tells us about their study, recently published in #GenesDev, showing that SUMOylation, DNA repair factors and BLM helicase promote telomeric DNA synthesis and alternative lengthening of telomeres. @lab_zhang

Carnegie Mellon biologists have discovered the mechanism behind telomere elongation, which has implications for treating cancer.

ALT SUMO and DNA repair factors co-localize to telomeres in ALT cancer cells.
Thanks for highlighting our work ☺️
In this study, @rongweiz et al. report that SUMOylation, along with DNA repair factors and BLM helicase, promotes telomeric DNA synthesis and alternative lengthening of telomeres. @lab_zhang

Check out our new paper. Very proud of you @rongweiz !
I am excited to share my work published on Genes & Development! Our study reveals a novel role of SUMOylation in ALT (Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres) pathway.

Happy to share this preprint, in collaboration with @ShilaBanerji and @DMChenowethLab, driven by @DebSBanerjee1 and Tafazwa, where we find high surface tension droplets 💧 can undergo Ostwald ripening in the chromatin while low surface tension droplets cannot.
Interplay of condensate material properties and chromatin heterogeneity governs nuclear condensate ripening biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_biophys

Single Cell Analysis 2024 | @CSHL @cshlcourses
Amazing bootcamp, great speakers, lots of fun. This year Spatial joins the family!
Thanks million @10xGenomics and @curiobio for your generous support this year! meetings.cshl.edu/courses.as…
It’s #cellbio2023 time! Three from the lab are going this year. I will be organizing the MBOC highlights: the
future of cell biology session on Saturday and be at the @ASCBiology booth for meeting the MBOC editor on Tuesday;
Rongwei Zhao will give a talk on SUMO-mediated phase separation on Sunday and Meng Xu will give a poster on RNA-driven phase separation on Tuesday. And I’m the only one without a travel award #proudPI
