I have a bit of cell biology, but most of it is old, like decades old. I just learned of Biomolecular Condensates last week, if you don't know of this class of cellular organelles, please take some time and read thru (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomolecular_condensate). It's super cool both that they exist, and the tech we've used to establish their existence.

And so this article really caught my attention.

The article in question:
Self-clustering of three CBX2 molecules drives PRC2 to promote facultative heterochromatinization of Polycomb target genes
