The paper investigates how condensate material properties affect exopher cargo selection in neurons, finding that gel-like condensates are more efficiently recruited than liquid-like ones.

This study introduces β-sheet breaking proline residues into FUS prion-like domain to prevent aggregation and toxicity while preserving phase separation and function.

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.
