Biomolecular condensates are membraneless intracellular assemblies that often form via
liquid− liquid phase separation and have the ability to concentrate biopolymers. Research …

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

Patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 exhibit low expression of interferon-stimulated
genes, contributing to a limited antiviral response. Uncovering the underlying mechanism of …

Prion-like low-complexity domains (PLCDs) have distinctive sequence grammars that
determine their driving forces for phase separation. Here we uncover the physicochemical …

The low-complexity domain of the RNA-binding protein FUS (FUS LC) mediates liquid−
liquid phase separation (LLPS), but the interactions between the repetitive SYGQ-rich …

TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is a versatile RNA/DNA binding protein involved in
RNA-related metabolism. Hyper-phosphorylated and ubiquitinated TDP-43 deposits act as …

Tightly packed complexes of nucleocapsid protein and genomic RNA form the core of
viruses and assemble within viral factories, dynamic compartments formed within the host …

Many organisms evolved strategies to survive desiccation. Plant seeds protect dehydrated
embryos from various stressors and can lay dormant for millennia. Hydration is the key …

Eukaryotic cells organize their intracellular components into organelles that can be
membrane-bound or membraneless. A large number of membraneless organelles, including …

The transition between soluble intrinsically disordered tau protein and aggregated tau in
neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease is unknown. Here, we propose that soluble tau …
