Coacervates are the soft matter of life
Institute for Molecules and Materials, Radboud University, Coacervates and Soft interfaces group Institute for Molecules and Materials 6525 AJ Nijmegen The Netherlands
The discovery that coacervates – dense aqueous droplets formed by phase separation – play a role in almost every process taking place in our cells leads to new perspectives on soft matter in living systems. Studying the soft material properties and chemical capabilities of coacervates is opening new avenues in pharmacology and biomaterials.
