Hidden architecture inside cellular droplets opens new targets for cancer and ALS
DNA
Lasker and her team identified the hidden architecture of biomolecular condensates, which are made up of an intricate network of filaments. Credit: Scripps Research Cells organize many of their most important activities using structures known as biomolecular condensates. Unlike traditional compartments in the cell, these droplet-like clusters are not enclosed by membranes. They help control how genetic instructions in DNA are converted into proteins, assist in clearing away cellular waste that
