Over the past decades, there has been a flourishing of phase-separated polymer gels.
Unlike traditional design methods that rely on chemical structure and polymer network …

Individual proteins and protein complexes undergo various motion types, including free
diffusion, confinement, subdiffusion and directed motion. Different motion behaviours reflect …

Membrane wetting by biomolecular condensates recently emerged as a key phenomenon in
cell biology, playing an important role in a diverse range of processes across different …

Cholesterol has been conjectured to be a modulator of the amyloid cascade, the mechanism
that produces the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides implicated in the onset of Alzheimer's disease …

This study shows that five membrane proteins—three GPCRs, an ion channel, and an
enzyme—form self-clusters under natural expression levels in a cardiac-derived cell line …

The peroxidation of membrane lipids by free radicals contributes to aging, numerous
diseases, and ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death. Peroxidation changes the …

The oncogene RAS, extensively studied for decades, presents persistent gaps in
understanding, hindering the development of effective therapeutic strategies due to a lack of …

The cell membrane exhibits a remarkable complexity of lipids and proteins that dynamically
segregate into distinct domains to coordinate various cellular functions. The ability to …

The function of many bacterial processes depends on the formation of functional membrane
microdomains (FMMs), which resemble the lipid rafts of eukaryotic cells. However, the …

This review examines the dynamic mechanisms underlying cellular signaling,
communication, and adhesion via transient, nano-scale, liquid-like molecular assemblies on …
