"Ever since we realized that disruptions in condensate formation are at the heart of many diseases, it has been challenging to target them therapeutically because they appeared to lack structure -- there were no specific features for a drug to latch onto," says Keren Lasker, associate professor at Scripps Research and senior author of the study.

From Science Daily

To explore how condensates can act like compartments without membranes, Lasker's lab examined a bacterial protein called PopZ.

From Science Daily

"Realizing that protein conformation depends on location gives us multiple ways to engineer cellular function," says Daniel Scholl, first author and former postdoctoral researcher in the Lasker and Deniz labs.

From Science Daily

"By demonstrating that condensate architecture is both definable and functionally critical, the work raises the possibility of designing therapies that act directly on condensate structure and correct the underlying disorganization that allows disease to take hold," says Lasker.
