The authors cover both membrane-bound and membrane-less organelles...should be a good read.

Interesting–a bioinformatic analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 genome shows the RNA processing proteins are prone to phase separate and go to condensates.

Here's an interesting way viruses target stress granules: they recruit these condensates to ER-associated filaments during the late stages of infection.

Here's another condensates study getting into how SARS CoV-2 works! I especially like the part where they show small molecules can alter these viral condensates inside mammalian cells.

It looks like dengue viral capsid phase separates and joins the nucleolus as part of it's invasion strategy... another way (of the many) that viruses use our condensates against us.

Interesting stuff: These authors show that upon infection of a leukemia-linked retrovirus, important DNA repair enzymes get sequestered away in Tax speckle structures, which leads to further genomic instability in leukemia cells.
