BACKGROUND: Congenital heart disease (CHD), the most common birth defect and a leading cause of infant mortality, is ...

Within the past decade, biologists have discovered that one strategy cells use to keep their contents organized is a ...

Dynamic remodeling of the endomembrane system is a core biological process essential for maintaining cellular compartmentalization and homeostasis. Proteins enriched in intrinsically disordered ...

Since the first observations that many cellular compartments are formed via protein liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), the field studying this phenomenon grew exponentially, enriching literature ...

There are hundreds of molecules and many structures packed into cells, and living cells can be a lot more complex than they appear in textbooks. The cytoplasm of cells is typically full of different ...

Protein complexes that play a critical role in launching an immune response assemble in droplets that form within the liquid environment in cells much like oil droplets in water, scientists report in ...

An area in molecular engineering that holds great promise is understanding the physical foundations of phase transitions, especially that of intrinsically disordered and ordered proteins. Phase ...
