Abstract

Phase transitions in cells provide a wonderful arena for investigation by students of physics, chemistry, and biology to come together to apply their foundational knowledge. In this article, we provide an intuitive approach to the basic physical principles of phase separation. We then highlight several examples that illustrate how the cell, the fundamental unit of life, makes use of phase separation to organise its contents.
