Armed with big pharma cash, another startup takes aim at mysterious clusters of molecules
Share it Human cells are often compared to factories, filled with microscopic machines that transport supplies, remove waste, generate energy and guard against intruders. Though much is known about how these factories work, many parts remain mysterious. Scientists have long noticed, for example, that certain proteins and molecules cluster together to form tiny droplets, they just didn't have many clues as to why. That was, until recent studies suggested the clusters — now called biomolecular condensates — are important tools for regulating cell activities. And if they're incorrectly put t...
