The abstract shows that dilncRNAs drive molecular crowding of DDR proteins into phase-separated condensates, but the specific molecular mechanisms by which these RNAs induce this biophysical transition are not explained. Understanding this mechanism is crucial since aberrant RNA-protein condensates are implicated in neurodegeneration.
