Abstract

The formation of nuclear structures such as Cajal bodies and nucleoli has been long accepted as arising from phase-separation processes. However, liquid-liquid phase separation is now being implicated in a multitude of additional nuclear processes. This includes transcriptional repression via heterochromatin and transcriptional activation via enhancer-promoter cooperation. The seemingly widespread presence of phase-separation in biology has generated much excitement in research and biotechnology.
