This study shows membrane curvature drives prewetting transitions that organize mitochondrial nucleoids through localized protein condensation.

This study investigates how membrane binding influences 2D versus 3D phase separation of the protein FUS, showing that membrane binding allows 2D condensates to form at lower concentrations than bulk phase separation.

This paper develops a thermodynamic model of non-dilute surface binding and phase separation for membrane-binding proteins and applies it to tight junction formation.
