This study shows that fluorescently tagged proteins in biomolecular condensates undergo crosslinking due to excitation-induced ROS, leading to condensate solidification and highlighting redox regulation of condensate properties.

This study develops backbone-degradable cationic copolymers for gene delivery, showing improved transfection efficiency without increased cytotoxicity.

This study shows amphiphilic surfactant proteins reduce interfacial tension of biomolecular condensates, with GST-based proteins being more effective due to higher surface density.

This study shows phosphorylation of SARS-CoV-2 N protein toggles its condensate state between membrane-wetting and engulfment, revealing a regulatory mechanism for viral RNA replication and packaging.

This study demonstrates that large particles can be controlled and orthogonally partitioned into biomolecular condensates through strong particle-condensate interactions, using polymer nanoparticles with tailored surface chemistries.

This study uses cryo-EM to analyze nanoscale structures of protein and polymer condensates, revealing core-shell morphologies and internal inhomogeneities.
