Crystallization is a well-explored natural phenomenon where atoms or molecules arrange themselves into highly organized solid forms called crystals. This phenomenon has been widely utilized across ...
Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and crystallization are intertwined phenomena of considerable importance in both fundamental research and industrial applications, particularly in the ...
Liquid-liquid phase separation is not a precursor to formation of amyloid fibrils, a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, shows study. Rather, the formation of protein into liquid droplets ...
New findings could help scientists explain why hexanucleotide expansions in the C9ORF72 gene are the major cause of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). In ...
Scientists have discovered the first evidence of protein folding driven by liquid-liquid phase separation, a phenomenon in which fluids form into microscopic droplets and separate inside cells -- like ...
Under JST's Strategic Basic Research Programs, Noda Nobuo (Laboratory Head) and Fujioka Yuko (Senior Researcher) of the Institute of Microbial Chemistry, in collaboration with other researchers, ...
LLPS as a rising molecular entity in the cytoplasm regulates diseases progression via a variety of ways. For example, the relationship between LLPS and cancer can be summarized into six aspects: gene ...
