Germ granules function as stress-responsive hubs to protect germ cell resilience

Biomolecular condensates are dynamic, membrane-less compartments that perform critical cellular functions in the adaptation to environmental stressors. Within germ cells, germ granules are specialized condensates essential for germ cell viability, genome defense, and epigenetic inheritance. Notably, environmental stressors such as heat and starvation can disrupt genome defense and epigenetic…
