Researchers have identified a new physicochemical principle governing liquid–liquid phase separation in polymer solutions.

Crystallization is a well-explored natural phenomenon where atoms or molecules arrange themselves into highly organized solid ...

Biomolecular phase separation is an emerging concept in cell biology that explains how specific proteins and nucleic acids dynamically organise into distinct, membrane‐less compartments. These ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation is not a precursor to formation of amyloid fibrils, a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, shows study. Rather, the formation of protein into liquid droplets ...

Chemidroplet is a chemical tool, that fused the BTB-containing domain to the multivalent DNA binding domain (DBD) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) to readily control the LLPS of these ...

CluMPS—Clusters Magnified by Phase Separation—is a fluorescent reporter strategy for detecting protein clusters. It promises to facilitate the visualization of protein clusters that are too small to ...

Researchers have investigated the non-equilibrium phase behavior of localized liquid-liquid phase separations (LLPS). The ...
