Capillary Interactions Drive Actin Bundling by Protein Condensates

Cells rely on networks of biopolymers (like Actin filament) that are organized by special proteins to carry out functions such as changing shape, moving, or transporting cargo. RSC Publishing+1 A newer idea is that protein “condensates” (liquid-like droplets of proteins) can join in this organization. MSE professors, Dr. Kim Weirich, Dr. Konstantin Kornev, and their […]
