In response to ethanol stress, the yeast transcription factor Hsf1 forms nuclear condensates and drives the coalescence of target genes prior to their transcriptional activation while in response to thermal stress these three phenomena are tightly coordinated.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) uses ER tubules and specific ER autophagy machinery to prevent toxic, dominant-interfering, disease-causing, mutant proteins from entering the secretory pathway.
Spatial transcriptomics analysis of rotavirus replication factories reveals principles of viral transcript partitioning and RNA stoichiometry in these granules.
Binding of a multivalent RNA-binding protein to mRNAs that are able to form pervasive RNA–RNA interactions induces formation of mesh-like condensates, whereas binding of mostly structured mRNAs induces sphere-like condensates.
