We produced micrometer-sized RNA viscoelastic compartments formed by RNA “nanostars”, motifs that fold from a single short RNA molecule (120-300 nt) and interact through loop-loop bonds. Building on previous work with @dimichelelab1.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Protein and RNA-based condensates have emerged as biologically important alternatives to classical membrane-bound organelles. Here the authors design pure RNA condensates from nanostructured, star-sha...
