     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.

2. (chemistry) The product of a condensation reaction.
