Selye (1957, 1973), for instance, revealed that measurable biomolecular changes took place in the body provoked by environmental conditions such as cold temperatures or excessive and prolonged exercise.

Do you remember learning about cell diagrams in high school biology? The cell wall, the organelles, the nucleus. The real picture is turning out to be much more complicated, and interesting, than we were taught. Cells are filled with teensy, phase-shifting blobs that often contain protein and RNA, and in the past several years they’ve taken over cellular biology. In our cover story on page 22, science writer Philip Ball dives into the world of these specks, known as biomolecular condensates, which play astounding roles in cellular functioning across all domains of life.
