Abstract

Bubbles within Protein Droplets This image illustrates the intricate patterns formed during the phase separation process of a disordered protein involved in tick bioadhesive, including the formation of aqueous bubbles inside the condensed phase. The article by Nandy et. al. demonstrates that pH readily affects the protein phase separation process as well as the material properties of the resulting condensates. More information can be found in the Research Article by Siddharth Deshpande and co-workers (10.1002/adfm.202515418).
