Overview

Review outlines biomolecular condensate dynamics and phase separation in cellular models, highlighting targetable phase transition mechanisms in degenerative proteinopathies.

Key Points

To review research advances, biophysical foundations, and collaborative opportunities regarding biomolecular condensates and phase separation.
Narrative synthesis of biophysical literature covering intrinsically disordered proteins, protein misfolding, and structural biology.
Evaluation of research trajectories, experimental frameworks, and scientific community initiatives catalyzed by the Brazilian Biophysical Society.
Characterized the transition of condensates from dynamic liquid-like droplets to aberrant gel- and solid-like aggregates as a fundamental driver of degenerative proteinopathies.
Summarized biophysical mechanisms through which intrinsically disordered proteins and nucleic acids coordinate spatiotemporal cellular compartmentalization without membrane barriers.
