Condensate formation in C elegans cell (VIDEO)

Marine Biological Laboratory

Caption

Clifford Brangwynne, Anthony Hyman, and colleagues first observed condensates forming in C. elegans embryos in the 2008 Physiology course at the Marine Biological Laboratory. This video is from their 2009 Science paper reporting on the discovery. The condensates (P granules) are condensing on the posterior side of the cell. Credit: Brangwynne et al, Science, 2009
