Exchange controls coarsening of surface condensates
Riccardo Rossetto, Marcel Ernst, David Zwicker
Biological membranes often exhibit heterogeneous protein patterns, which cells control. Strong patterns, like the polarity spot in budding yeast, can be described as surface conden…

Coarsening model of chromosomal crossover placement
Marcel Ernst, Riccardo Rossetto, David Zwicker
Chromosomal crossovers play a crucial role in meiotic cell division, as they ensure proper chromosome segregation and increase genetic variability. Experiments have consistently re…

Binding and dimerization control phase separation in a compartment
Riccardo Rossetto, Gerrit Wellecke, David Zwicker
Biological cells exhibit a hierarchical spatial organization, where various compartments harbor condensates that form by phase separation. Cells can control the emergence of these…
