Coacervates are condensed liquid-like droplets, usually formed with oppositely charged
polymeric molecules. They have been studied extensively in colloid and interface science …

Lipid membranes in cells are fluid structures that undergo constant synthesis, remodeling,
fission, and fusion. The dynamic nature of lipid membranes enables their use as adaptive …

Mutations causing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) often affect the condensation
properties of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). However, the role of RBP condensation in the …

Active coacervate droplets are liquid condensates coupled to a chemical reaction that turns
over their components, keeping the droplets out of equilibrium. This turnover can be used to …

Coacervation has emerged as a prevalent mechanism to compartmentalize biomolecules in
living cells. Synthetic coacervates help in understanding the assembly process and mimic …

Supramolecular self-assembly of fibrous components and liquid–liquid phase separation
are at the extremes of the order-to-disorder spectrum. They collectively play key roles in …

It is now generally accepted that macromolecules do not act in isolation but “live” in a
crowded environment, that is, an environment populated by numerous different molecules …

Coacervation is a liquid–liquid phase separation that can occur in solutions of
macromolecules through self-assembly or electrostatic interactions. Recently, coacervates …

The tiny spider makes dragline silk fibers with unbeatable toughness, all under the most
innocuous conditions. Scientists have persistently tried to emulate its natural silk spinning …

Many functional coacervates have been identified in biological systems, which have
attracted widespread interest. Coacervation is a liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) …
