Liquid-liquid phase separation of various transcription factors into biomolecular condensates plays an essential role in gene regulation. Here, using cellular models and in vitro studies, we show the spatiotemporal formation and material properties of p53 condensates that might dictate its function. In particular, p53 forms liquid-like condensates in the nucleus of cells, which can bind to DNA and perform transcriptional activity.

Methods: We recruited patients with PCD (n = 24), CD without perianal disease (NPCD, n = 10), and idiopathic perianal fistulas (IPF, n = 29).

This study aimed to examine the impact of the timing of voice therapy on vocal outcomes in patients post-surgery for benign vocal fold lesions.The study prospectively assessed 20 patients undergoing phonomicrosurgery for benign vocal fold lesions. Participants were categorized into early voice therapy (within 7 days), late voice therapy (after 7 days), and no voice therapy groups.

Standard management involves surgery followed by chemoradiotherapy. MRI-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive technique that may offer an option for select patients with specific clinical profiles.
