Self-assembled peptide nanostructures have been increasingly exploited as functional
materials for applications in biomedicine and energy. The emergent properties of these …

The intracellular environment represents an extremely crowded milieu, with a limited amount
of free water and an almost complete lack of unoccupied space. Obviously, slightly salted …

The transition between soluble intrinsically disordered tau protein and aggregated tau in
neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease is unknown. Here, we propose that soluble tau …

Biological cells are highly organized, with numerous subcellular compartments.
Phosphorylation has been hypothesized as a means to control the assembly/disassembly of …

The sustenance of life depends on the high degree of organization that prevails through
different levels of living organisms, from subcellular structures such as biomolecular …

Cryopreservation is a process used for the storage of mammalian cells at a very low
temperature, in a state of 'suspended animation.'Highly effective and safe macromolecular …

Living cells contain numerous subcellular compartments, many of which lack membranous
boundaries and are thought to occur due to liquid–liquid phase coexistence. This review will …

Paraspeckles are nuclear bodies built on an architectural long noncoding RNA, NEAT1, and
a series of studies have revealed their molecular components, fine internal structures and …

The importance of solution composition on enzymatic reactions is increasingly appreciated,
particularly with respect to macromolecular cosolutes. Macromolecular crowding and its …

Motile droplets using Marangoni convection are attracting attention for their potential as cell-
mimicking small robots. However, the motion of droplets relative to the internal and external …
