Leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) marks a stem-like colorectal cancer population but is difficult to target directly because of its expression in normal intestinal stem cells. Here, we integrated transcriptomic, somatic mutation, and copy-number data from 396 colorectal tumors to define...

Intrinsically disordered proteins, topologically complex protein surfaces, and biomolecular condensates regulate essential cellular processes but remain difficult to drug with conventional small molecules. Here, we present PepSpace, a physics-driven directed-evolution platform coupling residue-resolution coarse-grained...

Understanding how chromatin’s physicochemical properties shape its emergent organization is central to deciphering genome function. To address this, we present OpenCGChromatin, a high-performance coarse-grained model that achieves near-atomistic simulations of chromatin systems an order of magnitude larger than previou...

Nucleoli are liquid-like condensates whose size is actively conserved—they remain small, numerous, and resistant to coalescence—yet the molecular mechanisms that constrain their fusion remain poorly understood. Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNPK), an RNA-binding protein implicated in nucleolar organizati...

LGR5 expression defines a colorectal cancer subset that is pharmacologically tractable despite the absence of genetic dependency, including condensate-directed modulation of NKD1 as a route to targets inaccessible by antibody- or pocket-based approaches.

This work performs equilibrium and non-equilibrium residue-resolution molecular dynamics simulations to determine how RNA and heterotypic protein interactions regulate the pathological hardening of multicomponent FUS-containing condensates inspired by stress-granule composition.
