Macromolecular crowding boosts #condensates nucleation but limits droplet growth due to coalescence and reduced mobility. These experiments combined with simulations mimic how phase separation behaves in complex in-vivo conditions. Learn more in PRX Life: https://go.aps.org/4f0t8lB. #SyntheticBiology
