  "summary": "Cell-cell adherens junctions (AJs) and their dynamic cytoskeletal linkage power morphogenesis. AJs are enormous complexes with hundreds of proteins linked by multivalent interactions. Like other biomolecular condensates, intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in junctional proteins play important roles in AJ assembly and function, using spacer elements to span distances, and stickers to engage…",
