Abstract The reversible process where a homogenous fluid de-mixes into two distinctively separate liquid phases is referred to as LLPS (Liquid-liquid phase separation). The resulting liquid is made up of one dilute phase and one condensed phase. An increasing number of studies have shown that the liquid-liquid phase separation is an important principle that underlies intracellular organization in biological systems, forming liquid condensates without a membrane envelope, otherwise known as MLOs (membraneless organelles). Such organelles include the P bodies, nucleolus and stress granules. Moreover, the regulation of many other biological processes such as signal transduction, chromatin rearrangement and RNA metabolism have been linked to the liquid-liquid phase separation.
