🎉 Excited to share my postdoc work in the Bernstein lab now online @cp-molcell.bsky.social! 🔎We explored the unique functions of the SWI/SNF PBAF complex and its relationship with TFs, and unveiled a PBAF/REST-controlled neuronal-like signature with potential implications in #melanoma brain mets🧬

Huge congrats to Béguelin lab at Weill Cornell. Fantastic new work showing how PRC2 inhibition boosts T cell immunotherapies. Out now in Cancer Cell. www.cell.com/cancer-cell/...
cell.com
EZH2 inhibition enhances T cell immunotherapies by inducing lymphoma immunogenicity and improving T cell function
Isshiki et al. demonstrate that EZH2 inhibitors re-activate immune synapse functions between B cell lymphomas and T cells, sensitizing lymphomas to T cell immunotherapies. EZH2 inhibition enhances killing activity by promoting T cell recruitment, prolonging binding and increasing contact surface with lymphoma cells, and prevents T cell exhaustion. This strategy is currently under clinical evaluation.

Good news, Altmetric has now started watching BlueSky for mentions of publications. And by the way, provides an easy comparison between this and the old site for a recent preprint of mine which I posted simultaneousl at both. Numbers speak by themselves !

H3-H4 histone dimers act as copper reductase. This is important because ETC and SOD1 require bio-usable Cu+ for function. This article shows a new mechanism by which chromatin histones can affect the cell metabolism via a new role in metal processing #redoxepigenetics www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
science.org
The histone H3-H4 tetramer is a copper reductase enzyme
A eukaryotic histone complex can package DNA but is also a cupric reductase that provides biousable Cu1+ for the cell.
