Fibres and glasses compete as protein condensation states
Original: Fibres and glasses are competing material states in protein condensation
A Nature study reports that protein condensates can settle into two competing material states: fibre-like structures and glass-like phases. The finding clarifies how the same condensed proteins can adopt different physical forms, with implications for understanding biomolecular condensates in cells and conditions such as neurodegenerative disease, where protein aggregation plays a role.
Why now: Fresh publication of a Nature paper on protein condensation relevant to biophysics and disease research
