The amount of any given protein in a cell has to be controlled to keep its levels within a range required for healthy functions. This is especially important for proteins that are known to group together in liquid droplets called "condensates." These proteins generally contain flexible parts that don't have fixed 3D structures, so they can form many interactions at the same time. When these proteins accumulate, they are prone to forming large clumps called aggregates.
