Emergence of uniform linearly-arranged micro-droplets entrapping DNA and living cells through water/water phase-separation

Abstract Living cells maintain their lives through self-organization in an environment crowded with a rich variety of biological species. Recently, it was found that micro-droplets containing biomacromolecules, which vary widely in size, are generated accompanied by water/water phase-separation by s...
