This study investigates how synapsin-1 and actin form ordered nanoscale assemblies through phase separation, showing that actin scaffolds retain structural memory for condensate reformation.

The paper shows that balancing actin filament nucleation and elongation is necessary to deform protein condensates into high aspect ratio structures.

This study shows how mechanochemical feedback between confinement and actin crosslinking controls droplet shape and actin organization through dynamic relationships between bundling and deformation.

The paper shows that actin-binding proteins forming liquid-like condensates can polymerize and bundle actin filaments, expanding the known set of proteins capable of this function.
