Acquired 'Phase Separation' Underlies Aberrant Cell Fate Control?

Abstract excerpt

Chromatin readers are important intermediaries linking epigenetic information and biological phenotypes. Many diseases are caused by mutations in epigenetic readers. Recently, a study by Wan et al. uncovered that cancer-associated mutations promote self-association of eleven-nineteen-leukemia protein (ENL), leading to abnormal condensates, elevated gene expression, and impaired cell fate determination.
