Condensation and activator/repressor control of a transcription-regulated biomolecular liquid
Cells operate in part by compartmentalizing chemical reactions. For example, recent work has shown that chromatin, the material that contains the cell's genome, can auto-regulate its structure by util...

We’re excited to share our new work in Soft Matter: doi.org/10.1039/D5SM...
We demonstrate how in vitro transcription can drive biomolecular phase separation — and how that phase separation in turn regulates transcription.
