Liquid-liquid phase separation drives the formation of biomolecular condensates (BCs) for the spatiotemporal organization of several cellular processes. Recent evidences indicate that components of plasma-membrane-associated platforms form biomolecular condensates near focal adhesions (FAs), and suggest that phase separation regulates dynamic processes occurring at the front of migrating cells.
液-液相分离驱动了生物分子凝聚物 (BCs) 的形成,为几个细胞过程的时空组织提供了条件。最近的证据表明,质膜相关平台的成分在粘着斑 (FA) 附近形成生物分子凝聚物,并表明相分离调节了迁移细胞前缘发生的动态过程。
