DOI: 10.1016/j.molcel.2017.08.022
Abstract: Two recent papers (Larson et al., 2017; Strom et al., 2017) in Nature propose that heterochromatic domains are organized into phase-separated liquid compartments. Here we highlight the main findings that support the liquid-like nature of HP1 domains… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.nanolett.9b00594
Abstract: Contrary to everyday experience, where all liquid droplets assume rounded, near-spherical shapes, the temperature-tuning of liquid droplets to faceted polyhedral shapes and to spontaneous splitting has been recently demonstrated in oil-in-water emulsions. However, the elucidation… read more here.
