From dynamic condensates to pathological assemblies: the phase behavior of tau and
Review in Frontiers in molecular neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Neurons rely on precise protein folding, trafficking, and turnover to maintain synaptic function. Disruption of proteostasis promotes misfolded proteins that impair axonal transport, mitochondrial function, and signalling, contributing to neuronal loss. Although neurodegeneration has traditionally focused on stable amyloid deposits, many disease-associated proteins contain intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) that can organize through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). LLPS concentrates proteins and nucleic acids into dynamic condensates that regulate cellular processes, but these adaptive interactions can also promote condensate aging and less reversible, aggregation-prone states. Here, we review how sequence-encoded properties of tau and α-synuclein (α-syn) link physiological condensation to pathological protein assembly, while emphasizing that LLPS and amyloid formation are related but not obligatorily linked.
