Clifford Brangwynne discusses his work to understand and engineer intracellular phase transitions, which play an important role in organizing the contents of living cells. This approach has also begun to yield rich insights into the link between intracellular liquids, gels, and the onset of pathological protein aggregation, and still largely unexplored mechanical interactions between these structures and the genome.
