The identification of membrane-less organelles in cells profoundly changes our understanding of cellular compartmentalization.
These organelles, whose size can vary from a few tens of nanometers to a few micrometers, are called, according to their characteristics, granules, bodies, (bio)condensates, membraneless organelles or liquid organelles. They are dynamic structures, very sensitive to their physico-chemical environment, which assemble and disassemble much faster than membrane organelles. These condensates are able to concentrate specifically certain proteins or nucleic acids while excluding others. These properties mean that these structures, which are probably not all identified, are involved in a wide range of cellular processes and diseases.
These new biological objects have created great enthusiasm among molecular and cellular biologists, biophysicists, polymer physicochemists and soft matter physicists. The field is therefore conducive to transversal and multidisciplinary research.
The objective of this conference is to bring together the French community interested in this emerging theme.
