Consequences of hyperosmotic volume change on phase separation.A, increased packing slows down intracellular diffusion, favoring associations mediated by weak interactions. B, depletion attraction maximizes entropy of a system by promoting association of larger solutes. C, the presence of compartments between rigid intracellular structures leads to confinement effects that can favor association and phase separation processes.
