Biomolecular condensates are critical for organizing cellular contents, but most studies focus on phase separation driven by salt, pH, or temperature.
But what if intracellular movement also matters?
Here, we explore motility-induced condensation in the cell.

Active transport enables protein condensation in cells
The force generated by active transport modulates protein condensation.
