Congratulations to Paul Herman whose NIH grant entitled "An analysis of the regulation and functions of a novel family of membraneless organelles in eukaryotic cells" was recently renewed for an additional four years of funding. This proposal examines a potential link between a cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule, known as the Processing-body, and the microtubule network of eukaryotic cells. The funded experiments will test whether the process of tubulin autoregulation occurs within these granules and may therefore provide valuable insight into this form of regulation.
