A Concentration-Dependent Liquid Phase Separation Can Cause Toxicity upon Increased Protein Expression

Multiple human diseases are associated with a liquid-to-solid phase transition resulting in the formation of amyloid fibers or protein aggregates. Here, we present an alternative mechanism for cellular toxicity based on a concentration-dependent liquid-liquid demixing. Analyzing proteins that are to...
