5/ Recent technological advancements have powered these studies, enabling answers to previously unanswerable questions (Fig. 4). Despite this progress, critical evaluation of the evidence concerning condensate properties is essential to understand their role in immune cell fate.

4/ Conversely, dysregulation of condensates has been linked to deleterious immune cell fates, including impaired function, autoimmunity, aging, and malignant transformation (Fig. 3).

3/ Recent studies have implicated condensates in the transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes that drive proper immune cell fates, from the level of hematopoietic stem cells to innate and adaptive immune cells (Fig. 2).

2/ Condensates are diverse, membraneless assemblies of nucleic acids and proteins (Fig. 1). They are thought to enable temporally precise control of gene expression by concentrating or segregating components of the gene regulatory machinery and their targets.
