Many proteins are capable of spontaneously rearranging themselves within cells to form molecular condensates—membraneless intracellular structures formed by one or multiple proteins—through a process known as liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS). This biological process is key, as it allows proteins to organize, interact and function in an efficient and regulated manner within the cellular environment. When this mechanism fails, neurodegenerative diseases, cancers or developmental disorders can appear.
