Coarsening

Ostwald ripening
Dropcoalescence
Two mechanisms:
Macromolecular crowding -> drops diffuse less as they grow

Two hallmarks of living matter
• Driven chemical reactions (e.g., metabolism, ATP-driven phosphorylation)
• Self-generated mechanical force (e.g., motility via ATP-driven molecular motors)• Motility alone can lead to phase separation
[J Tailleur & ME Cates (2008) Phys. Rev. Lett.; Y Fily & MC Marchetti (2012) Phys. Rev. Lett.; GS Redner, MF Hagan & A Baskaran (2013) Phys. Rev. Lett.]
• But the system coarsens as in passive phase separation [CFL (2018) Soft Matter]

Summary
• Driven phase separation • Chemical reaction can lead to a stable,
multidrop system
• ATP depletion-triggered stress granule formation• ATP promotes solubility of SG constituents
• Regulation by crossing phase boundary
