Abstract excerpt
Formation of membrane-less organelles via liquid-liquid phase separation is one way cells meet the biological requirement for spatiotemporal regulation of cellular components and reactions. Recently, tau, a protein known for its involvement in Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies, was found to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation making it one of several proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases...
