Condensate-mediated shape transformations of cellular membranes by capillary forces

Lukas Hauer, Katharina Sporbeck, Joseph F. McKenna +5

Phase-separated biomolecular condensates with liquid-like properties play a key role in the organization and compartmentalization of the intracellular environment. Condensate-media…

Phase Separation in Wetting Ridges of Sliding Drops on Soft and Swollen Surfaces

Lukas Hauer, Zhuoyun Cai, Doris Vollmer +1

Drops in contact with swollen, elastomeric substrates can induce a capillary-mediated phase separation in wetting ridges. Using laser scanning confocal microscopy, we visualize pha…
