Compartmentalization of multiple enzymes in cellulo and in vitro is a means of controlling the cascade reaction of metabolic enzymes. The compartmentation of enzymes through liquid-liquid phase separation may facilitate the reversible control of biocatalytic cascade reactions, thereby reducing the transcriptional and translational burden. This has attracted attention as a potential application in bioproduction. Recent research has demonstrated the existence and regulatory mechanisms of various enzyme compartments within cells. Mounting evidence suggests that enzyme compartmentation allows in vitro and in vivo regulation of cellular metabolism. However, the comprehensive regulatory mechanisms of enzyme condensates in cells and ideal organization of cellular systems remain unknown. This review provides an overview of the recent progress in multiple enzyme compartmentation in cells and summarizes strategies to reconstruct multiple enzyme assemblies in vitro and in cellulo. By examining parallel examples, we have evaluated the consensus and future perspectives of enzyme condensation.

The assembly of replication factors into functional complexes is crucial for the initiation of viral genome replication and processing of nascent viral DNA. Binding to viral DNA and interaction of protein domains presumably guide compartmentalization of replication factors. The phase separation due to hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of components may also contribute to the assembling process.

Background: Busulfan (Bu) is the foundation of conditioning regimens for pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Evidence indicates that the efficacy and side effects of Bu are intimately tied to the area under its concentration-time curve (AUC). Given its cytotoxic nature and a small therapeutic index, coupled with marked inter-individual pharmacokinetic variability, Bu requires therapeutic drug monitoring to facilitate individualized therapy.

As patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) age, the risk of cancer also increases. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are novel monoclonal antibodies that have revolutionized cancer treatment. However, their use is limited by immune related adverse events.

Background: Autistic people and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, and people of other sexuality or gender minorities (LGBTQIA+) experience worse unemployment rates than allistic or cisgender, straight people. Yet, there is limited research to understand the employment experiences of people with both autistic and LGBTQIA+ identities. Therefore, in this study, we aim to describe the barriers and supports for inclusion in the workplace for autistic LGBTQIA+ adults.
