Wow, this looks like a really valuable resource, which will keep me busy for a while exploring all the details. I appreciate all the complexity that is taken into account, going way beyond simple LLPS of a binary mixture.
We wrote a review on the "Physics of droplet regulation in biological cells": arxiv.org/abs/2501.13639 Beside the basic #physics of phase separation, we discuss three aspects that separate cellular from traditional droplets:

What is LiTEC? A brand new method which targets arbitrary cargo or enzyme into condensates using blue light 🔵. LiTEC provides new insights into the composition and behavior of condensates without disturbing their natural state. Now in CELL. Congrats to @choongman.bsky.social & Cissé lab team
Bringing Cellular Condensates to Light
Researchers at the MPI of Immunobiology and Epigenetics have developed LiTEC, a method for studying biomolecular condensates—membraneless compartments in cells that regulate key processes such as gene...
