Phase coexistence and nucleation of aging condensates
Yicheng Qiang, Chengjie Luo, David Zwicker
Biomolecular condensates form by phase separation and often age over time by transitioning from liquid-like droplets to solid-like states. To capture the fundamental behavior of ag…
Coexistence of patterned phases in chemically active multicomponent mixtures
Chengjie Luo, Yicheng Qiang, Guido L. A. Kusters +1
Chemically active mixtures exhibit complex patterns that emerge from the interplay of physical interactions and reactions among components. Individually, these two processes are we…
Self-propulsion via non-transitive phase coexistence in chemically active mixtures
Yicheng Qiang, Chengjie Luo, David Zwicker
Phase separation drives the formation of biomolecular condensates in cells, which comprise many components and sometimes possess multiple phases. The equilibrium physics of phase s…
Chemically active droplets in crowded environments
Jacques Fries, Roxanne Berthin, Chengjie Luo +4
Biomolecular condensates are essential for cellular organization and result from phase separation in systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Among various models, chemically ac…
Condensate Size Control by Net Charge
Chengjie Luo, Nathaniel Hess, Dilimulati Aierken +3
Biomolecular condensates are complex droplets comprising diverse molecules that interact using various mechanisms. Condensation is often driven by short-ranged attraction, but net…
Generic multicomponent mixtures are multistable
Yicheng Qiang, Chengjie Luo, David Zwicker
Liquid mixtures of many interacting components often exhibit numerous coexisting types of droplets. An exciting example is the cytosol of biological cells, where diverse droplets,…
Beyond Pairwise: Higher-order physical interactions affect phase separation in multi-component liquids
Chengjie Luo, Yicheng Qiang, David Zwicker
Phase separation, crucial for spatially segregating biomolecules in cells, is well-understood in the simple case of a few components with pairwise interactions. Yet, biological cel…
