Lecture by Prof. Lipowsky today at 16:00h CET (Berlin time). Join us!

Title: “Morphological complexity of biomembranes and vesicles interacting with condensate droplets”

👉 More details: www.comeincell.org/2026-02-16-r...

How do biomolecular condensates🫧 interact with membranes? We show that dielectric permittivity contrast between coexisting phases directly governs condensate wetting behavior.

👉 preprint: bit.ly/4qBmVRx

Permittivity matters.🧪🫧

Using hyperspectral imaging with ACDAN and phasor plotting, we map phase-specific dielectric properties.
Condensates can exhibit a wide range of permittivities from water- to oil-like.

How does hydroperoxidation affect #lipidmembranes? 🤔

#ComeInCell fellow Sifre van Teeffelen presented her work on the phase transition of hydroperoxidized SOPC bilayers at #EJTEMM2026 in Ljubljana. Her research offers key insights into oxidative stress & #membranestability. 👏

Check out this community comment in Nature Communications on biomolecular condensates! 🧪🔬 💧

The piece shows how condensates fundamentally change the study of biology, offering insights into cellular processes.
A great resource for anyone in the field, especially newcomers.
