Abstract
Open compartments, termed biomolecular condensates, are involved in cellular reactions. This Comment highlights their ability to enhance robustness and control of reactions in space and time, going beyond mere acceleration or inhibition. They enable reaction engineering at the mesoscale, not just by altering concentrations but also by modifying the local environment.
