New Platform Links Dysfunctional Biomolecular Condensates to Microcephaly and Neurodevelopment

When you add drops of oil to water, the oil and water remain separate. Within cells, biological molecules cluster together in a similar way, separating themselves from the rest of the cell. And while they don't have a membrane, they are their own distinct compartments.
