How do biomolecular condensates🫧 interact with membranes? We show that dielectric permittivity contrast between coexisting phases directly governs condensate wetting behavior. 👉 preprint: bit.ly/4qBmVRx Permittivity matters.🧪🫧

Another welcome distraction from the dissertation awaits right next to the office: #BioMembraneDays25 are such a great gathering, spanning membrane and lipid #biophysics to physiology. The food is outstanding too 🤗. Thanks to organizers @ewerslab.bsky.social @dimovalab.bsky.social and Thomas Weikl!
