Building microscopes at #umich to measure chemistry, physics, and biology one #singlemolecule at a time (she/her) https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/biteen-lab/

International Conference on Optics within Life Sciences (OWLS)

Thrilled to share Luis's manuscript showing how RNA metabolism by bacterial ribonucleoprotein bodies (BR-bodies) is controlled: stress changes the bacterial biomolecular condensate material state *and* shifts function from mRNA decay to storage. #LiveCell #SingleMolecule #Microscopy

Proposed model showing how the material state of BR-bodies tunes their activity, enabling a transition from mRNA decay enhancement during growth to storage during stress.
