Biomolecular condensates are concentrated molecular communities of DNA, RNA, and proteins within cells that can actively drive and regulate the cellular metabolic cycle. Recent findings demonstrate that these condensates can facilitate the formation of crucial carbon-nitrogen bonds to create new molecules, a critical first step in protein formation.

Researchers have determined that the severity of sickle cell disease (#SCD ) symptoms is driven by the specific physical behavior of a small sub-population of rigid red #blood cells, rather than the average "thickness" or viscosity of the patient's blood as previously believed.
