Liquid–liquid phase separation in cells
Multivalent interactions between biological molecules result in the formation of biomolecular condensates, a phenomenon known as Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS). Biomolecular condensates have important cellular and physiological functions, and aberration in LLPS can result in pathologies. This
