Our paper on the optimization of smFISH to quantify cytokine mRNAs in T cells is published in EMBO Journal.
Using this protocol, we gathered interesting insights on cytokine mRNAs co-expression and localization in these teeny tiny human cells.

Collective homeostasis of condensation-prone proteins via their mRNAs - Nature
The authors discover a homeostatic process termed interstasis, in which an increased concentration of proteins within RNA–protein condensates induces the sequestration of their own mRNAs.
