Biomolecular condensates are small ‘compartments’ created inside cells without any membrane  playing key roles to organise myriad biochemical reactions. Unlike typical cell structures, these condensates are formed due to a process called liquid-liquid phase separation, where specific proteins clump together (like oil droplets in water). This phenomenon is studied worldwide but how exactly the sequence of amino acids in these proteins defines the condensates’...]]></description><link>https://thestemreview.wixstudio.com/journal/post/proteins-and-the-hidden-inner-worlds-they-create</link><guid isPermaLink="false">698df64551a6a74c3cb2610e</guid><category><![CDATA[Biology]]></category><category><![CDATA[Chemistry & Medicine]]></category><pubDate>Thu, 12 Feb 2026 15:51:33 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_45c15ab9253446c48b2017321943718f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Adi Vinay Chousalkar</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hemifused Vesicles and Their Role in Cellular Transport]]></title><description><![CDATA[Introduction Cells constantly remodel the structure of their internal membranes to help traffic and transport proteins, lipids, and other forms of cargo.

Conventional small‑molecule and peptide ligands, however, often struggle to achieve the desired selectivity and signaling precision for individual GPCR subtypes or conformational states.

This means that individuals become more susceptible to infection and vulnerable to cancers as a result of reduced vaccine effectiveness and decreasing immune cell population - a process known as Immunosenescence. This raises a critical question , is it possible to reverse or retard these changes ?

However, due to the combination of excess demand and less supply, the  basic economic problem (scarcity) arises. All these necessities are interconnected as water is an essential resource for the growth of crops from which food comes. Additionally, irrigation and electrical energy are the main processes that require freshwater in immense amounts.
