Multiphasic condensates formed with mono-component of tetrapeptides via phase separation.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Biomolecular condensates, formed by liquid-liquid phase separation of biomacromolecules, play crucial roles in regulating physiological events in biological systems. While multiphasic condensates have been extensively studied, those derived from a single component of short peptides have not yet been reported. Here, we report the symmetrical core-shell structural biomolecular condensates formed with a programmable tetrapeptide library via phase separation. Our findings reveal that tryptophan is essential for core-shell structure formation due to its strongest homotypical π-π interaction, enabling us to modulate the structure of condensates from core-shell to homogeneous by altering the amino acid composition. Molecular dynamics simulation combined with cryogenic focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy and cryogenic electron microscopy show that the inner core of multiphasic tetrapeptide condensates is solid-like, consisting of ordered structures. The core is enveloped by a liquid-like shell, stabilizing the core structure. Furthermore, we demonstrate control over multiphasic condensate formation through intrinsic redox reactions or post-translational modifications, facilitating the rational design of synthetic multiphasic condensates for various applications on demand.
