Oocytes stockpile nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) in cytoplasmic membrane sheets called annulate lamellae (AL) in preparation for rapid cell cycles during embryogenesis. Recently, Hampoelz et al. reported that AL-NPC assembly depends on the coordinated formation, transport, and interaction of biomolecular condensates containing distinct sets of nucleoporins.
