Excited to share our new preprint on Myxococcus xanthus!
We show that two distinct motility motors can propel the same bacterial cell simultaneously, and that this dual propulsion is tunable by environmental calcium. 🧵 1/6

Au CNRS, les femmes en science sur le devant de la scène Au CNRS, les femmes en science sur le devant de la scène

En ce début d’automne 2025, le CNRS continue de mettre à l’honneur les #FemmesEnScience. Tandis que "La Science taille XX elles" lance sa 8e édition, CNRS Ingénierie inaugure avec "Ingénieuses" une nouvelle exposition itinérante. Et le 15/10 paraît "Les filles sont parfaites pour les sciences".

Really excited to share our latest work led by @mattiaubertini.bsky.social and @nesslfy.bsky.social: we report that cohesin loop extrusion creates rare but long-lived encounters between genomic sequences which underlie efficient enhancer-promoter communication.

How do enhancer-gene contacts relate to transcription activation? In mouse embryonic stem cells, a combo of STED, oligoFISH & RNA FISH shows that 3% of Dppa3 alleles transcribe. For these, enhancers and promoters come closer (panel E). Stumberger ... Leonhardt & Harz www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excellent keynote lecture by Susan Gasser at EpiGene3Sys @institutcurie.bsky.social.

A summary of ground-breaking work on the role of H3K9 methylation in restricting access of activators to chromatin.

In addition Susan has a track record as excellent mentor.
