Summary

Description
English: Membraneless compartments can form through at least three distinct mechanisms: (A) binding, (B) bridging, or (C) liquid-liquid phase separation. (D) The nucleus contains many different membraneless structures, including the nucleolus (orange), constitutive heterochromatin compartments (yellow), paraspeckles (green) and transcriptional condensates (blue), which have all been proposed to assemble through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). Replication compartments (purple) form following infection by herpes simplex virus. [1]
