The paper investigates condensate size distributions in cells and finds that exponential and power-law distributions arise from different physical mechanisms, with the latter linked to a 'rich get richer' effect.

The paper maps nucleolar rRNA dynamics using imaging and modeling, finding that rRNA moves radially due to viscoelastic properties and polymerization, leading to a new model for rRNA release.

The paper investigates how chromatin mechanics suppress phase separation in the nucleus and control droplet properties through theory and simulation.

This study shows that chromatin mechanics slow down condensate coarsening by inhibiting droplet growth and causing subdiffusion, with implications for biophysical regulation of condensates.
