Decades of research have identified genetic factors and biochemical pathways involved in
neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). We present evidence for the following eight hallmarks …

Cancer is a disease of uncontrollably reproducing cells. It is governed by biochemical
pathways that have escaped the regulatory bounds of normal homeostatic balance. This …

Liquid–liquid phase separation and related phase transitions have emerged as generic
mechanisms in living cells for the formation of membraneless compartments or biomolecular …

Protein aggregation is the main hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases. Many proteins
found in pathological inclusions are known to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation, a …

Functional loss of TDP-43, an RNA binding protein genetically and pathologically linked to
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), leads to the …

Mutations causing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) often affect the condensation
properties of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). However, the role of RBP condensation in the …

The distinct prion-like domains (PrLDs) of FUS and TDP-43, modulate phase transitions that
result in condensates with a range of material states. These assemblies are implicated in …

Heat-shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) orchestrates the fast and vast cellular response to
heat shock through increased expression of heat-shock proteins. However, how HSF1 …

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an intractable disease that causes respiratory failure
leading to mortality. The main locus of ALS is motor neurons. The success of antisense …

A guiding principle of biology is that biochemical reactions must be organized in space and
time. One way this spatio-temporal organization is achieved is through liquid–liquid phase …
