During my PhD work with @ZoherGueroui
 at @Chimie__ENS, I developed a method to control the assembly/disassembly of α-syn condensates. we show that  α-Syn fibrillar aggregates convert liquid α-Syn condensates into amyloid-like structures. https://t.co/yRDNEJkv1j

What sets condensate size in cells ?

Latest story with @cochard_audrey and D.Weil reveals key roles of RNA and viscoelastic properties

By creating artificial granules in cells, we show that the size of #condensates scales with RNA surface density.

RNA at the surface of phase-separated condensates impacts their size and number
