Thank you!!!

PhD paper finally out! Neural stem cell quiescence is actively maintained by the epigenome: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Happy to share a preprint of my PhD work! We created a chromatin state model for quiescent and proliferating neural stem cells in Drosophila and found that quiescent cells gain active chromatin to support stem cell functions. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Want to learn more about chromatin and its dynamics? Read this review by Charlotte and Jolijn in our lab, aimed at giving an overview on this and the ways this is dealt with during transcription, replication and damage repair. Thanks to Biochemistry for inviting us! doi.org/10.1021/acs....

The importance of moving away from bulk! Occupancy of Pol II at promoters is dramatically different between fly and mouse cells! When looking single molecule! Proud of the team! @kasitc.bsky.social @molinalab.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s443...

Ready to push some flies

✨New✨ Brand lab preprint - Quiescent neural stem cells adopt a transient 'stem cell-neuron' identity to coordinate their reactivation across the CNS. We've been discussing the neuron-like traits of quiescent NSCs for years, so it's been wonderful to see Laura and Jocelyn uncover these mechanisms! ⚡
