“Tissue-level probing of intracellular liquid-liquid phase separation dynamics” Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of biopolymers recently emerged as a ubiquitous driving force for intracellular self-assembly. The resulting LLPS dynamics appear to orchestrate wide-ranging cellular mechanisms, from genome organization to cell division. Despite remarkable progress, studying and engineering intracellular LLPS remains challenging. In this talk, I will...
