Self-emergent vortex flow of microtubule and kinesin in cell-sized droplets under water/water phase separation
Abstract By facilitating a water/water phase separation (w/wPS), crowded biopolymers in cells form droplets that contribute to the spatial localization of biological components and their biochemical reactions. However, their influence on mechanical processes driven by protein motors has not been wel...
