Protein solutions exhibit a rich spectrum of phase behaviours that underpin a variety of biological and technological processes. Research in this area focuses on how ionic environments—comprising mono ...

In-cell biophysical analyses identify a sequence-encoded energy storage function of innate immune adaptor proteins that allows cells to respond quickly and decisively to pathogenic signals.

Benedetta Bolognesi, principal investigator of the Protein Phase Transitions in Health and Disease group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Barcelona (IBEC), has been awarded an ERC Proof of ...

Phase changes -- Stability and instability -- Bifurcations and catastrophes -- Percolation -- Random graphs -- Life origins -- Virus dynamics -- Cell structure ...

When water freezes into ice or boils into vapor, its properties change dramatically at specific temperatures. These so-called phase transitions are fundamental to understanding materials. But how do ...
