Plant ESCRT component FREE1 forms liquid-like condensates that associate with membranes to drive intraluminal vesicle formation.

We propose that condensate-mediated scission represents a previously undescribed scission mechanism that depends on the physicomolecular properties of the condensate and is involved in a range of trafficking processes.
