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 …

The confluence of recent discoveries of the roles of biomolecular liquids in living systems
and modern abilities to precisely synthesize and modify nucleic acids (NAs) has led to a …

Eukaryotic cells are characterized by multiple chemically distinct compartments, one of the
most notable being the nucleus. Within these compartments, there is a continuous exchange …

We describe the design and characterization of artificial nucleic acid condensates that are
engineered to recruit and locally concentrate proteins of interest in vitro. These condensates …

Cells are highly functional and complex molecular systems. Artificially creating such systems
remains a challenge, which has been extensively studied in various research fields …

Biomolecular condensates control where and how fast many chemical reactions occur in
cells by partitioning reactants and catalysts, enabling simultaneous reactions in different …

Membrane-less compartments and organelles are widely acknowledged for their role in
regulating cellular processes, and there is an urgent need to harness their full potential as …

DNA condensates, formed by liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS), emerge as promising
soft matter assemblies for creating artificial cells. The advantages of DNA condensates are …

The exact mechanism of photochemically induced atom transfer radical polymerization
(photoATRP) performed without venting the reaction mixture, remains not fully elucidated …

To achieve functionalized liposomes and their expanding applications in assembling
artificial cells and solve problems of poor stability and single structure of liposomes, recent …
