In mice, brain signals triggered the release of fatty acids in the liver, which are linked to metabolic disease.
Intricate molecular machineries, such as the ESCRT protein complexes, are well known for their ability to cut biological membranes. The discovery that membranes can also be severed by phase-separated condensates, through line tension force, reveals a previously unknown mechanism of membrane fission that highlights the fundamental role of condensates in cellular organization.
