Biomolecular phase separation is an emerging concept in cell biology that explains how specific proteins and nucleic acids dynamically organise into distinct, membrane‐less compartments. These ...

A quantitative phase microscopy image of biomolecular condensates reconstituted from RNA and four distinct RNA-binding proteins. Pixel brightness is proportional to the local thickness of a condensate ...

A team of NYU chemists and physicists are using cutting-edge tools—holographic microscopy and super-resolution imaging—to unlock how cells build and grow tiny, dynamic droplets known as biomolecular ...

Mill Valley, CA – July 3, 2025 – The SynGAP Research Fund dba Cure SYNGAP1 (SRF), a 501(c)(3) organization, has awarded a $74,851 grant to Prof. Kristian Strømgaard, Ph.D., at the University of ...

If your holiday season activities include a luxury cruise or feasting on raw oysters, then beware: Norovirus, a gastrointestinal RNA virus that can cause nausea and diarrhea, could be an unwelcome ...

Much of cell behavior is governed by the actions of biomolecular condensates: building block molecules that glom together and scatter apart as needed. Biomolecular condensates constantly shift their ...

Human norovirus, a positive-strand RNA virus that is the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis accounting for an estimated 685 million cases and approximately 212,000 deaths globally per year, has no ...

A research group has developed a novel and highly accessible technology for producing uniform biomolecular condensates using a simple, low-cost vibration platform. The study is published in the ...
