LLPS regulates cancer

Caption

LLPS as a rising molecular entity in the cytoplasm regulates diseases progression via a variety of ways. For example, the relationship between LLPS and cancer can be summarized into six aspects: gene fusions/mutations, heterochromatin formation, transcriptional machinery, cellular homeostasis, microenvironment, and RNA modification. In particular, the behavior and mechanism of LLPS in RNA modification may point to new directions for diagnostics and therapy for some of the most dangerous and hard-to-treat tumors.
