Medically important phospholipids are observed in cellular condensates.

Caption

Medically important phospholipids are observed in cellular condensates. [Top] PIP2 (green), a phospholipid involved in cell signaling, is observed in nuclear speckle condensates (red). [Bottom] PIP3 (green), another signaling phospholipid, is observed in stress granule condensates (red). Images were taken of human cells on a tissue culture plate.
