A condensate dynamic instability orchestrates actomyosin cortex activation

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Victoria Tianjing Yan from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the article: A condensate dynamic instability orchestrates actomyosin cortex activation, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 19/09/2021
• what: The authors report on the discovery that, in Caenorhabditis elegans oocytes, actomyosin cortex activation is supported by the emergence of thousands of short-lived protein condensates rich in F-actin, N-WASP and the ARP2/3 complex4-8 that form an active micro-emulsion.
• how: To answer this question the authors developed a general method to quantitatively study compositional dynamics in an ensemble of multicomponent . . .
