Lecona (@emlecona.bsky.social ) & Méndez #RepliFate labs show that VCP/p97 removes Pol α/primase from chromatin to avoid excess ATR activation during normal #DNAreplication
VCP/p97 = checkpoint gatekeeper!

We’re excited to welcome artist Helen Pynor to @cbm-csic-uam.bsky.social as part of the #RepliFate artist-in-residence program! 🎨🧬
From June 24–July 5, she’ll explore how #DNAreplication shapes cell fate & cancer, bridging science & art with our researchers.

Frogs in the lab? Yep! 🐸
This week, RepliFate PhD students are diving into the Xenopus egg extract system at the @duxinlab.bsky.social (@bric-ucph.bsky.social, @ucph.bsky.social) -where test tubes meet frog magic to unravel the mysteries of DNA replication and genome integrity.
Our lab’s a little more crowded (and a lot more curious) this week! 🧠🐸
We’re thrilled to welcome @RepliFate students for a hands-on course in Xenopus egg extracts.
They're diving into the Xenopus world and learning how this powerful system helps us explore DNA replication and genome stability.
#EuropeDay2025
On May 8, Emilio Lecona @emlecona.bsky.social and PhD students Ran Tong (@csic.es) & Scott Brian Churcher (@cbm-csic-uam.bsky.social) presented our network to students to show how we train researchers to study DNA replication in the fight against cancer 💡🧬
🔬 Science Through an Artistic Lens🎨

Great initiative from the CSIC!
We're proud to see RepliFate science shared with the public on #EuropeDay2025 — science belongs to everyone!
🌍 #ClimateActionDay is here!
For the first time, the University of Copenhagen @ucph.bsky.social is joining forces to take real steps toward a greener future
At BRIC @bric-ucph.bsky.social, we’re putting words into action!
Small changes can make a big impact 🌱

It’s time for new duo: Julius Thomas & his PI Lorenza Penengo from the University of Zurich.
They study the ISG15 system in DNA replication—but there’s more! One could be found scaling alpine peaks, while the other might just trade the lab for the thrill of mushroom hunting. Curious to know more? 🍄
We’re kicking off our RepliFate introductions with @Phuc and her PI, @sylvie-noordermeer.bsky.social ! As part of the RepliFate network, they are contributing to exciting research in double-strand break (DSB) repair. Wanna know more about their work, hobbies, and fun facts? Check out their profiles!

🎨 🔬 Science Meets Art
This week, we are excited to welcome Pei-Ying Lin to the @duxinlab.bsky.social as part of the RepliFate Artists in Residence program. Pei will spend two days immersed in our lab routine.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll spotlight both PhD students and PIs, sharing not only their research interests but also a glimpse into their personalities.

We are excited to launch a series introducing the RepliFate researchers driving innovation in DNA Replication and Cell Fate.
