A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

However, most animal cells have complex morphologies ... Previous models of membrane structure have depicted adhesion as discrete membrane protein–cytoskeleton bonds that are discontinuously ...

But filopodia can also wreak havoc: metastatic cancer cells use them to invade new regions of the body. Filopodia are composed of hexagonal bundles of proteins that give them structure and strength.

The old paradigm was all about how molecules pass information around the cell by getting together via selective interactions tightly encoded into their structure. Condensates undermine this view.
