Excited that we got selected for the @cp-molcell.bsky.social cover for the latest issue released today! Congratulations @csandate.bsky.social!

Excited to share that my first-author publication from my PhD on the interplay of p53 with cofactors on chromatin is now online in Molecular Cell @cp-molcell.bsky.social : www.cell.com/molecular-ce... Nucleosomes filter cofactor access to p53 - USP7 can bind whereas E6AP-E6 fails to form a complex.

Our cells pack DNA into tiny bundles that hide important parts. Researchers at the FMI and EPFL found this packing affects how the cancer-fighting protein p53 works, revealing new insights into cancer. www.fmi.ch/news-events/...

Congratulations to Dr. Deyasini Chakraborty on defending her PhD thesis this week! 🥳🎓 Her research reveals how nucleosomes—structures of DNA wrapped around proteins—control the access of specific molecules to p53, a protein that helps regulate cell growth and prevent cancer.
