A review of condensates

As part of her thesis, Huan systematically reviewed the rheology and interfacial properties of biomolecular condensates. In addition to summarizing quantitative measurements in the literature, we also tried point out … Read More

An executioner of cell death

In collaboration with Jie Xu’s lab, Yiling studied how a protein called “NINJ1” regulates the rupture of cell plasma membranes. We found that having more NINJ1 drastically reduces the lysis … Read More
