Ending 2025 with a nice study from the labs of Laura Lettice & @wbickmor.bsky.social Bystander activation across a TAD boundary supports a cohesin-dependent transcription cluster model for enhancer function x.com/genesdev/sta...

Also this year… tradition is renewed! All the best to the all the friends worldwide!

If you want to map the spatial composition of a tissue or organ, 3D mapping is not an option. It is absolutely necessary. Due to its inherent undersampling, 2D omic mapping is almost always misleading. See details here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Lovely work from @grosselab.bsky.social Showing how: “Nuclear Myosin VI cooperates with actin to promote transcriptional cluster formation at androgen receptors” www.jbc.org/article/S002...

✨ Blinking #nanobodies that work for single-molecule localization 🔬 Our new preprint shows that the self-blinking dye JF635b restores robust, buffer-free blinking in #nanobodies, enabling reliable #dSTORM, #MINFLUX, and more, without chemical-switching buffers. Opening new possibilities for #ExM!

Exciting new paper out! @allanaschooley.bsky.social and Sergey Venev led this project that let to the discovery of two chromosome folding programs: one inherited via mitotic chromosomes and one mitotic inherited through the cytoplasm! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Fantastic talk today from @alex-stark.bsky.social

I am very excited to be organizing a session for postdocs (with focus on those in the job market). Be on the lookout for info and registration! 🐟🧪

Street “heart” (By Foddis A.)

In the most recent episode we talked with @andersshansen.bsky.social from MIT about his work on the impact of 3D genome structures on gene expression and techniques like Region Capture Micro-C for mapping genome organisation. #podcast #epigenetics Listen here: activemotif.com/podcasts-and...

Yellow Monday folks!

The shapes of nature…

I don’t care about sunsets. Sunsets are sad, light of the day gone, enter the cold, dark night. But the sunrise, that’s the promise and hope of a new day.

Good morning…

Webinar ongoing. @cytosurge.bsky.social

Stem Cell Stories @ Deutsches Museum Meet the EpiCrossBorders students behind the scenes—bringing science to life! 🧬 Join us Nov 14–16 | Free entry 🎤 AI & ethical implications in research roundtable: Nov 14, 18:30 #StemCellStories #NextGenScience #EpiCrossBorders #ScienceComm #DeutschesMuseum #AI

Controlling prediabetes isn’t about avoiding sugar—it’s about choosing the right sugar source ▶️ A new clinical study found that daily mango eating resulted in a better blood sugar control and less body fat. 🔗 The study: doi.org/10.3390/food... 🌐 #INPST #Nutrition #Health

I would like to bring to your attention this very interesting Webinar about “Live-seq”. With live-cell sequencing we are able to track the same cell over time and uncover cause-and-effect in treatments, heterogeneity, and cell fate decisions.🧬

Great Scott! It’s #BackToTheFutureDay! ⚡️“Don’t just describe what happened, predict what will.” 💻 Join our LIVE WEBINAR "Cellular Time Travel" next week 📅 3:00 PM CET / 10:00 AM EDT / 7:30 PM IST / 10:00 PM CST 👉 Registration link: https://bit.ly/3Io32gV #SingleCell #RNASeq #LiveSeq #SingleCell

What a great pleasure to have @marionicodemi.bsky.social here in Göttingen talking on phase transitions in the nucleus of the cells.

Excited to try this! The waiting list makes me even more curious

Happy birthday @biologists.bsky.social! 🥳 Here’s to another century of supporting biologists and inspiring biology!

Not the submission process, not reviewer #2, not the editor. Writing the abstract of the paper is often a far greater challenge. And there’s one simple reason for that: most people have a hard time figuring out what’s important for the reader. I ‘ll be sharing tips in next posts - stay tuned!

This one feels special: our latest work on subtelomeric heterochromatin is now on www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... This story was driven by the virtuoso PhD work of Agnisrota Mazumder @agnisrota.bsky.social, co-mentored with @al-sadylab.bsky.social, and grew out of our #MSCA Cell2Cell network.

Nobel Laureate Professor Sir John Gurdon dies aged 92 cam.ac.uk/research/news/… Very sad news. A remarkable scientist! He will be always with us.🌻www.cam.ac.uk/research/new...92

In strong agreement- I think the multiple meanings makes using the word a minefield but it is … a widely used word in science and beyond. Plus 1 or 2 intergenerational transmission being different from trans generational (for me 3 or more generations for mammals) is a complex “nuance”

New research from EMBL Rome shows how paternal environment prior to conception can shape early embryo development. These findings are a step toward understanding the mechanism of epigenetic inheritance, opening up new possibilities for disease prevention. www.embl.org/news/science...

One more movie! Using the RL algorithm (from pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...), @masaashimazoe.bsky.social analyzed our nucleosome tracking data and classified them by their mobility. Hotter color = faster motion (Slow🔵→ 🟢 → 🟡 → 🟠 Fast)
