Controlling synthetic membraneless organelles by a red-light-dependent singlet oxygen-generating protein

Membraneless organelles play vital cellular roles, and control over their formation and state could have varied applications. Here, the authors develop photoresponsive synthetic condensates whose activity can be controlled through the use of light to trigger liquid-to-solid phase transition.
