About two-thirds of the increase in anthropogenic methane emissions since 2009 have come primarily from agriculture—particularly red meat and dairy production, and to a lesser extent rice farming (Earth Syst. Sci. Data 2020, DOI: 10.5194/essd-12-1-2020 and Environ. Res. Lett. 2020, DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/ab9ed2).

Around the same time that Brangwynne published his seminal discovery in Science in 2009 (DOI: 10.1126/science.1172046), Rosen spied another way LLPS was occurring in cells. He found that when a cell builds its structural support, or cytoskeleton, three of the proteins that help to build the scaffolding can transition from individual subunits to a large, complex polymer in the shape of a droplet.
