From liquid to solid: revolutionary technique uncovers disease-related changes in tiny droplets within our cells
Understanding the behaviour of tiny droplets in our cells could aid the search for new treatments. A team of Leiden researchers has developed a groundbreaking method to study how these droplets transition from liquid to solid. This change plays a role in various diseases, including neurodegenerative…
