Our paper is published today after peer-review: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41556-022-01037-0

We asked whether protein complexes that follow growing microtubule ends are liquid condensates or not. The answer is not a simple yes or no, so give it a read if you are interested. I find these panels particularly informative

Multivalent interactions facilitate motor-dependent protein accumulation at growing microtubule plus-ends - Nature Cell Biology

Maan et al., Meier et al. and Song et al. report that microtubule plus-tip end binding proteins can undergo liquid–liquid phase separation and regulate microtubule dynamics.
