Size Control of hnRNPK-based Nucleolar Condensates by RNA-Regulated Fusion Dynamics

Nucleoli are liquid-like condensates whose size is actively conserved—they remain small, numerous, and resistant to coalescence—yet the molecular mechanisms that constrain their fusion remain poorly understood. Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNPK), an RNA-binding protein implicated in nucleolar organizati...
