A new review outlines design principles and applications of synthetic membraneless organelles built through liquid-liquid phase separation for use in biotechnology.

Researchers used cloud point measurements to construct a phase diagram. The solid lines represent the droplet density, while the dashed lines represent the solution density. Crystallization is a ...

Liquid–liquid phase separation is a process in which a uniform solution separates into two coexisting liquid phases. In living cells, it governs the formation of membrane-less compartments that ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation is not a precursor to formation of amyloid fibrils, a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, shows study. Rather, the formation of protein into liquid droplets ...
