Abstract

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is an emerging research field in cellular biology. LLPS-driven biomolecular condensates act as reaction chambers and regulatory hubs for critical processes, including chromatin architecture, gene expression, and metabolism. The dysregulation of these processes frequently impedes the proper execution of physiological functions. Current research indicates that abnormal phase separation plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of diseases and aging. This review briefly overviews the fundamental concepts and research methods related to phase separation. We also summarize studies concerning its physiological functions, particularly emphasizing its role in hematopoiesis. We further discuss how abnormal phase separation can lead to hematological disorders, specifically summarizing its involvement in the pathogenesis of leukemia. Despite recent advancements, elucidating LLPS mechanisms in hematopoiesis remains challenging due to the intricate interplay between biomolecular condensates and cellular function. Future research efforts aiming to reveal the role of LLPS in hematological diseases hold promise for novel therapeutic interventions and a deeper understanding of hematopoietic processes.
