Inside all living cells, loosely formed assemblies known as biomolecular condensates perform many critical functions. However, it is not well understood how proteins and other biomolecules come ...
Condensation of molecules into a liquid-like droplet — a process called phase separation — is a well-studied physical phenomenon, which can be caused by mutual attractions between proteins or other ...
The size of a cell's nucleolus may reveal how long that cell, or even the organism it belongs to, will live. Over the past few years, researchers have been piecing together an unexpected link between ...
