Primes

• Phase Separation
  • The discovery that membraneless organelles form by liquid-liquid phase separation was a wholesale import of the polymer-physics framework into cellular biochemistry, replacing the prior stoichiometric-complex model.

    This sourceThe foundational demonstration that membraneless organelles behave as liquid phases (a classic phase transition), importing polymer-physics LLPS into cell biology.
