Summary: Inspired by the role of intracellular liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) in the formation of membraneless organelles, researchers have developed dynamic compartments formed by LLPS of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) or short peptides. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of biomolecular condensates have not been fully understood. In this study, the authors demonstrate that the LLPS propensity, dynamics, and encapsulation efficiency of designed peptide condensates can be tuned by subtle changes to the peptide composition. This sequence-structure-function correlation could pave the way for the future development of compartments for various applications.

Summary: Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is essential for the formation of intracellular membraneless compartments and may have played a role in the origins of protocells. While LLPS in simple systems is well understood, there are still many unknowns about LLPS in complex molecular systems. In this article, the author discusses the formation, function, and fate of LLPS condensates in both cell biology and protocell research.

Summary: Water actively participates in liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) by driving and being involved in the process. LLPS is governed by changes in hydration entropy and enthalpy. To tune LLPS for biological and medical applications, a general model is required to quantify thermodynamic driving forces. In this study, we develop such a model based on measured THz features of hydration populations, revealing the thermodynamic changes and providing a rational means to manipulate LLPS.

Summary: Phase separation is an important concept for spatial organization in biological cells, but little is known about the phases formed in systems with many interacting components. Researchers have developed a numerical method based on physical relaxation dynamics to study coexisting phases in such systems. By optimizing interactions between components, similar to how proteins' interactions might have evolved, they found that these evolved interactions robustly lead to a defined number of phases and provide versatile control of phase behavior.

Summary: Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is a novel principle that explains the precise regulation of spatial and temporal organization in living cells. It plays a crucial role in various cellular processes and its dysregulation has been linked to cancer development. This review comprehensively summarizes the mechanisms of biomolecular condensate formation and function, and discusses recent advances in understanding the role of aberrant LLPS in cancer pathology. Furthermore, the therapeutic potential of targeting LLPS in cancer research and development of drug candidates is also discussed.

Summary: The diffusion behavior of Mg2+ in electrolytes is not as readily accessible as that from Li+ or Na+ when utilizing PFG NMR due to low sensitivity, poor resolution, and rapid relaxation encountered in 25Mg NMR. The high activation enthalpy for exchange (65-70 kJ/mol) can be explained by the structural change of bound DME as evidenced by its reduced C-H bond length, which reveals a relative restriction to Mg2+ diffusion caused by long-range interactions with solvent molecules.

Summary: Liquid-liquid phase separation is crucial in creating cellular compartments and protocells, and the design of short peptide synthons for phase separation is significant. These synthons can concentrate biomolecules and catalyze anabolic reactions, showing potential for new coacervate-based protocells.

Summary: Multivalent polymers play a crucial role in biocondensate formation and dynamics, impacting neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS and Alzheimer's. Simulations reveal non-specific binding interactions can lead to significant changes in droplet formation at lower energy levels, and solvent conditions and polymer length also influence phase separation. Further understanding of these interactions could provide insights into disease treatment and experimental systems.

Summary: Lithium-sulfur batteries offer significant improvements over traditional lithium-ion batteries but still face challenges such as the polysulfide shuttle effect. Introducing hydrofluorinated ethers into the electrolyte has shown potential in enhancing battery performance and modifying the structure of dissolved polysulfide species.

Summary: Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of proteins and nucleic acids is a new paradigm in the study of cellular activities, driving the formation of membrane-less condensates in living cells. The biophysical and biochemical principles underlying LLPS determine the molecular properties and composition of liquid condensates, while their function in cellular activities, especially in a pathological context, remains unclear. Current research is focused on uncovering the roles of LLPS in cancer, including signaling pathways, transcription regulation, and genome stability maintenance.

Summary: Conventional LiPF6/carbonate-based electrolytes have been widely used in graphite-based lithium ion batteries for their stability, but are less stable in Li metal and silicon anodes. Localized high-concentration electrolytes have unique advantages, forming stable SEI layers to improve stability.
