摘要
Dear Editor,Biomacromolecules aggregate to form membraneless organelles(MLOs)via phase separation has been observed in a variety of physiological processes over the last decade.1 However,the molecular basis of biomacromolecule phase separation in cells and assembly modes of this process remain largely unknown due to a lack of available experimental methods.The dynamics of different MLOs vary widely.
