Biomolecule “Silly Putty”: High-resolution imaging of cell condensates achieved using fluorogen technology

NB and NR bind to nanoscale clusters within the condensate. Credit: Nature Physics (2025). doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02827-7 Biomolecular condensates shift the masses of cells that organize cellular material. They are distinct molecular communities made up of DNA, RNA and proteins that “condensate” molecules in critical places, but often go against explanation. Partly because this is so small that it cannot be measured…
