Phase separation of TPX2 enhances and spatially coordinates microtubule nucleation

The microtubule binding protein TPX2 enhances branching microtubule nucleation though the current mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors show that TPX2 undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation and co-condensates with tubulin to enhance TPX2-mediated microtubule nucleation.
