New preprint alert!!! Super proud to finally share an authentic 'tour-de-force' from the amazing PhD students Shivani Gunnan @shivanigunnan.bsky.social, Max Kotz and Lucas Ribas, in collaboration with @friedrich-group.bsky.social 👇a small thread www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Developmental growth rates adapt to enable self-correction of organ morphology after injury.Proportional organ growth requires tissue-level control of cell behavior. Yet the cues that adapt growth rates, especially after organ injury, remain unclear. Here, we uncover that developing organs a...www.biorxiv.org

Our new study shows a CHD-family remodeler can nucleate and spread H3K9 methylation de novo, inverting the canonical hierarchy between writers and remodelers. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Nucleosome remodeling by a CHD enzyme promotes H3K9 methylation establishment and spreading via remodeler-writer feedbackIn Schizosaccharomyces pombe , the conserved CHD remodeler Mit1 function within the SHREC remodeler-deacetylase complex (a homolog of the metazoan Mi-2/NuRD complex), which is essential for H3K9 methy...www.biorxiv.org

Please share! What companies have folks successfully worked with to generate custom antibodies? Rough cost? We've been burned once before and want to try a different company this time around.

“AlphaFold 3's representational coherence is deeply tied to evolutionary scaffolding, suggesting it functions similarly to an advanced fold-recognition system and highlighting that protein structure prediction from sequence alone is not yet fully solved.”

Wow 🤩 @benoitbruneau.bsky.social Very proud! Big congrats!

This epic paper, which has been a heroic 10 year journey for the lead author, Ricardo Barrientos, is finally out in Cell today! Many thanks to all co-authors, especially Billie Meadowcroft and Andela Saric for their beautiful MD simulations www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Basement membrane turnover controls cell shapeBasement membranes are scaffolds of proteins, like collagen, that give organs shape. During development, basement membranes must adapt to the growing organ. We infer how fast the basement membrane ada...www.cell.com

Next summer's Epigenetics GRC (I'm co-chairing with Deborah Bouch'is) is shaping up nicely with an all-star lineup of speakers working on a broad range of organisms and systems and everything from molecular mechanisms to new phenomena. Apply and put it on your calendar! www.grc.org/epigenetics-...

Nascent chain folding status modulates ribosome dynamics and mRNA stability through the ribosome-associated chaperone Zuo1Chang et al. show that co-translational protein misfolding feeds back to ribosomes, slowing translation elongation and triggering mRNA decay. The ribosome-associated chaperone Zuo1 mediates this respo...www.cell.com

Sometimes the dark alleys are in fact dark alleys that we shouldn't have gone down. But sometimes the dark alleys are really the path to enlightenment. And we don't really know, ahead of time, which one is going to go, unfortunately. –@harmitmalik.bsky.social on the Night Science Podcast, episode 6
