Physical principles underlying the complex biology of intracellular phase transitions
JM Choi, AS Holehouse… - Annual review of …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Many biomolecular condensates appear to form via spontaneous or driven processes that
have the hallmarks of intracellular phase transitions. This suggests that a common …

Ubiquitination of G3BP1 mediates stress granule disassembly in a context-specific manner
INTRODUCTION Stress granules are dynamic structures composed of RNA and protein that
arise in the cytoplasm in response to a variety of stressors. These structures form via liquid …
