We probably shouldn’t have favourites amongst projects in the lab, but this one was mine. I’m so pleased we can finally share it:
Our work is now out in Nature Communications:
🔗 nature.com/articles/s41467-025-67692-7
Excited for this new preprint from my lab where we unexpectedly found a role for methionine synthase reductase in regulating heterochromatin independently of methionine synthesis 👇
Now final version out: Our manuscript connecting histone modifications with metabolism: How H4K16 acylations regulate inter +intranucleosomal interactions and confer resilience to metabolic challenges in vivo. Thanks to the team+ @sandrani.bsky.social
Enjoy 👇👇 www.cell.com/molecular-ce...
Menno Schilthuizen @schilthuizen.bsky.social gave a brilliant overview of the interplay between genetic diversity and reproductive isolation in speciation, followed by a discussion with science historian Kärin Nickelsen and biochemist Axel Imhof @bmc-lmu.bsky.social. Chair: @lenabouman.bsky.social
I feel extremely honoured for this recognition. Thanks go to many people from my lab and colleagues for their trust and support over the years
We are honored to share our Perspective in Nature Communications, reflecting on the legacy of John B. Gurdon.
Beyond his discoveries, his generosity and curiosity inspired a community of scientists-we remember and celebrate his lasting impact. #JohnGurdon #Xenopus #NatureCommunications
