Figure 2: Formation of canonical stress granules (visible by standard microscopy, composed of a large number of components) may not be required for many attributed functions.

Figure 2:

Many roles could in principle be accomplished by small RNA/protein condensates consisting of a sharply restricted subset of components assembled into submicroscopic condensates. The diagram provides speculative positioning of functions on the size spectrum because strong hypotheses regarding which functions require large foci are lacking.
