Brangwynne focuses on the formation of the nucleolus; one of several membrane-less bodies found in the nucleus. Brangwynne’s lab was able to show that assembly of the nucleolus also can be described by the physics of phase separation.

Liquid Phase Separation in Living Cells
Liquid-liquid phase separation drives the formation of membrane-less organelles such as P granules and the nucleolus. Brangwynne explains how this process works and its important role in normal cell function and disease. (Talk recorded in July 2018)
