“gathering to form shape, dispersing to become Qi”

These membrane-less structures are dispersed throughout the cell and even constitute the cell’s cytoskeleton (as confirmed by research in 2022). When needed, they can rapidly gather to form functional bodies, completing specific tasks before dispersing again. This characteristic of “gathering to form shape, dispersing to become Qi” aligns closely with the traditional Chinese medicine assertion that “Yin governs aggregation, while Yang governs dispersion.”
