A remarkable transition during murine development is the progression from the 1-cell embryo to the 2-cell stage, accompanied by the activation of a specific set of embryonic genes, epigenome reprogram...

Epigenetic regulation is a key determinant of adipocyte fate and function, conferring phenotypic plasticity to adipose tissue in response to metabolic and thermal challenges. To understand the spatiot...

Post-translational modification by the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) is essential for cellular differentiation and homeostasis. Here, we investigate the role of SUMOylation in adipose tissue...

Pierre Chymkowitch at the University of Oslo is awarded 12 million NOK by The Norwegian Research Council, to investigate how SUMOylation influences epigenetic stability and could prevent diseases like...
