RNA and liquid-liquid phase separation
Non-coding RNA Research, 2021 Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) is a biological phenomenon that refers to the components of similar properties form droplets condensate in cells. These droplets play an important role in maintaining the stability of order in cells.

Magnetic phase separation in microgravity
npj Microgravity, 2022 The absence of strong buoyancy forces severely complicates the management of multiphase flows in microgravity. Different types of space systems, ranging from in-space propulsion to life support, are negatively impacted by this effect. Multiple approaches

Inertia-induced nucleation-like motility-induced phase separation
New Journal of Physics, 2021 Motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) is of great importance and has been extensively researched in overdamped systems, nevertheless, what impacts inertia will bring on kinetics of MIPS is lack of investigation.

Protocol to alter a protein’s phase separation capacity to control cell fate transitions
STAR Protocols, 2021 Summary: Phase separation of proteins regulates transcription. Here, we present a protocol to manipulate phase separation capacity of a protein. We use this protocol to disrupt phase separation by mutating residues at intrinsically disordered regions ...

Activity-Suppressed Phase Separation
Physical Review Letters, 2022 We use a continuum model to examine the effect of activity on a phase separating mixture of an extensile active nematic and a passive fluid. We highlight the distinct role of previously considered interfacial active stresses and bulk active stresses that couple to liquid crystalline degrees of freedom.

Phase separation during blood spreading
Scientific Reports, 2021 Blood pools can spread on several types of substrates depending on the surrounding environment and conditions. Understanding the influence of these parameters on the spreading of blood pools can provide crime scene investigators with useful information ...

Charge-induced phase separation in lipid membranes [PDF]
, 2014 The phase separation in lipid bilayers that include negatively charged lipids is examined experimentally. We observed phase-separated structures and determined the membrane miscibility temperatures in several binary and ternary lipid mixtures of ...

Explaining the Release Mechanism of Ritonavir/PVPVA Amorphous Solid Dispersions
Pharmaceutics, 2022 In amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs), an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is dissolved on a molecular level in a polymeric matrix. The API is expected to be released from the ASD upon dissolution in aqueous media.

Phase separation in biology [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 Cells have to organize their complex biochemistry to regulate their metabolism and respond to changes in the environment. Traditionally, intracellular organization has been associated with compartments that are surrounded by lipid membranes. However, in recent years, phase transitions have emerged as a novel form of cellular organization.
