"It is not just a glue, but it is a smart glue, which is able to integrate spatial information to form only at the right place." Within the complex tangle of identical microtubules in the cell ...

Researchers from Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and ETH Zurich have discovered how proteins in the cell can form tiny liquid droplets that act as a smart molecular glue. Clinging to the ends of filaments ...

The basis of the chemical is catechols, which are synthetic compounds designed to be analogous to the wet-but-still-sticky proteins that help mussels fixed to wet surfaces. This is the basis for ...

Proteins in the cell can form tiny liquid droplets that act as a smart molecular glue, discover researchers. Clinging to the ends of filaments called microtubules, this smart liquid ensures the ...
