A ‘killswitch’ peptide solidifies protein droplets in living cells

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Human cells contain dozens of different types of proteinaceous droplets called biomolecular condensates. A newly developed tool provides insights into the behaviour of biomolecules in condensates and into the functions of condensates in living cells. An innovative tool can help the investigation of the biological functions of protein condensates.
