Molecular Assembly Lines in Active Droplets

  Cells assemble structures that have lots of molecules. How can such complicated structures be reliably assembled? We propose that cells could be organizing an assembly line process for the construction. We show how this could be organized inside droplets. In this video we explain our recent…

New Study: A multi-step nucleation process determines the kinetics of prion-like domain phase separation

In this study, time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was used to characterize liquid-liquid phase separation of Prion-like domains. Read more
