Biomolecular condensates, formed through phase separation, are upending our
understanding in much of molecular, cell, and developmental biology. There is an urgent …

In eukaryotes, the nucleolus is the critical non-membranous organelle within nuclei that is
responsible for ribosomal DNA (rDNA) transcription and ribosome biogenesis. The …

Associative polymer networks have shown major promise in the fabrication of self-healing
and responsive materials. They can also serve as simple models to study more complex …

The Golgi apparatus is a critical organelle in protein sorting and lipid metabolism.
Characterized by its stacked, flattened cisternal structure, the Golgi exhibits distinct polarity …

Coordinated assembly of individual components into higher-order structures is a defining
theme in biology, but underlying principles are not well-understood. In neurons, alpha/beta …

Bacterial cytokinesis is driven by a contractile ring of FtsZ protein polymers at midcell. FtsZ
can also form phase-separated biomolecular condensates with potential implications for …
