Abstract

Cells can condensate some of their intracellular components into compartments known as membraneless-organelles (also called liquid droplets or protein condensates). Among them are nucleoli, Cajal bodies, P-bodies, and stress granules, all existing as liquid protein-rich droplets within the cell and arising from the condensation of cellular material in a process termed liquid-liquid phase separation. Although termed “membraneless”, these droplets can come into contact, wet, and reshape membranous compartments.
