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 ...

In mammalian cells, besides nuclei, mitochondria are the only semi-autonomous organelles possessing own DNA organized in the form of nucleoids. While eukaryotic nuclear DNA compaction, chromatin ...

Crystallization is a well-explored natural phenomenon where atoms or molecules arrange themselves into highly organized solid forms called crystals. This phenomenon has been widely utilized across ...

Genetic engineers can design and assemble sophisticated gene circuits to program cells with new functions, but important signaling molecules can become diluted as these cells grow and divide, causing ...

Phase separation, when molecules part like oil and water, works alongside oxygen diffusion to help memristors -- electrical components that store information using electrical resistance -- retain ...

Phase separation in nuclear cell biology represents a conceptual framework for understanding how cells spatially and temporally regulate gene expression.
