This work has shown that liquid–liquid phase separation driven by multivalent macromolecular interactions is an important organizing principle for biomolecular condensates and has proposed a physical framework for this organizing principle.
Germline P Granules Are Liquid Droplets That Localize by Controlled Dissolution/Condensation

It is shown that P granules exhibit liquid-like behaviors, including fusion, dripping, and wetting, which is used to estimate their viscosity and surface tension, and reflects a classic phase transition, in which polarity proteins vary the condensation point across the cell.
Self-organization of microtubules into bipolar spindles around artificial chromosomes in Xenopus egg extracts

- 1 August 1996
Functional nuclei and mitotic spindles are shown to assemble around DNA-coated beads incubated in Xenopus egg extracts, indicating that bipolarity is an intrinsic property of microtubules assembling around chromatin in a mitotic cytoplasm.

- BiologyJournal of Cell Biology
- 11 June 2001
Different roles are suggested for the kinetochore and the chromosomal passengers in mitotic chromosome segregation and the recruitment of CeINCENP to chromosomes, which are independent of each other.

Yeast kinesin-8 depolymerizes microtubules in a length-dependent manner
- VladimÃr Varga, J. Helenius, Kozo Tanaka, A. Hyman, Tomoyuki U. Tanaka, J. Howard

- 13 August 2006
It is directly demonstrated that Kip3p destabilizes microtubules by depolymerizing them — accounting for the effects of kinesin-8 perturbations on microtubule and spindle length observed in fungi and metazoan cells.
