Inside all living cells, loosely formed assemblies known as biomolecular condensates perform many critical functions. However, it is not well understood how proteins and other biomolecules come ...

Malfunction of cellular condensates is a disease mechanism relevant for congenital malformations, common diseases, and cancer, new research suggests. Most proteins localize to distinct protein-rich ...

In mammalian cells, the nucleolus is the central site for ribosome biogenesis. It is composed of distinct subcompartments: the fibrillar center (FC), the dense fibrillar component (DFC), the periphery ...

Each issue, The Scientist publishes a review, like the one above, that examines related papers in a single field. We also publish a selection of comments on interesting recent papers from the Faculty ...
