The next phase of biomolecular condensate research

The Cell Reports team recently attended the Keystone Symposia on Biological Condensates. The meeting was a great opportunity to learn about the latest developments in this exciting area. In this Voices piece, we asked three researchers in the field how the landscape of biomolecular condensate research is evolving. They emphasize the need for new theoretical frameworks and experimental approaches. They discuss the complex nature of biomolecular condensates formed via phase separation, their emergent properties, and the implications for cellular function and disease.
