Protein phase separation: physical models and phase-separation- mediated cancer signaling

Phase separation is a concept well described in physics where a system spontaneously exhibits two or more distinct yet coexisting phases at equilibrium. This review describes several popular physical models that serve as a theoretical framework to understand protein phase separation in biological sy...
