Alkanediols such as 1,6-hexanediol disrupt many phase-separated condensates in cellula and in vitro, but how molecular interactions are perturbed by these compounds remains unclear. This study uses ...

Over the past decade, a growing amount of research has revealed how liquid-liquid phase separation mediates protein ...

These interactions, they show, facilitate protein assembly, and eventually, liquid-liquid phase separation into droplets. The ...

Deshpande has been interested in phase separation for a long time. When he stumbled upon GRPs in tick saliva, Deshpande immediately thought that a solution of these proteins could phase separate. To ...

In a recent study, researchers made a significant observation of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition ...

Our brain's remarkable ability to form and store memories has long fascinated scientists, yet most of the microscopic mechanisms behind memory and learning processes remain a mystery.

In a study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, scientists explore how a brain protein called tau changes its behavior when a small chemical group called a phosphate attaches to ...

A team of researchers from Waters Corporation, led by Szabolcs Fekete, tested a new approach for separating oligonucleotides.

An international team of physicists has made a significant observation of the BKT phase transition in a 2D dipolar gas of ultracold atoms. This groundbreaking work marks a major milestone in ...
