Implementing a framework of carbon and nitrogen feedback responses into a plant resource allocation model

Abstract. The allocation of resources to roots and shoots can greatly alter total plant mass. Allocation is thought to be the consequence of uptake rates,

Biomolecular condensates are critical for organizing cellular contents, but most studies focus on phase separation driven by salt, pH, or temperature. But what if intracellular movement also matters? Here, we explore motility-induced condensation in the cell. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Active transport enables protein condensation in cells

The force generated by active transport modulates protein condensation.
