Phase separation in fluid dynamics encompasses the processes by which a homogeneous fluid mixture evolves into two or more distinct phases, typically through mechanisms such as spinodal decomposition, ...

Liquid-liquid phase separation is not a precursor to formation of amyloid fibrils, a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease, shows study. Rather, the formation of protein into liquid droplets ...

近日，中南民族大学生物医学工程学院阳小飞教授团队在神经科学顶级期刊 Nature Neuroscience 上发表了题为 Munc18 modulates syntaxin phase separation to promote exocytosis 的研究论文 。该研究首次揭示，神经元突触前膜中的关键蛋白 syntaxin 可通过“液 - 液相分离”形成动态聚集，并受到 Munc18 ...

In mammalian cells, besides nuclei, mitochondria are the only semi-autonomous organelles possessing own DNA organized in the form of nucleoids. While eukaryotic nuclear DNA compaction, chromatin ...

Phase separation, when molecules part like oil and water, works alongside oxygen diffusion to help memristors -- electrical components that store information using electrical resistance -- retain ...

Researchers led by Prof. XU Zhiheng from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealed the important roles of POSH phase separation and its ...
