🚨 New from our lab: Here we explored how aging contributes to harmful protein aggregation in diseases like Huntington’s & ALS. The culprit? An overlooked aging factor — EPS8 and RAC signaling. #Aging #Longevity #Proteostasis #ALSResearch 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s43...

The aging factor EPS8 induces disease-related protein aggregation through RAC signaling hyperactivation - Nature Aging
Aging is a risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases associated with protein aggregation. Here the authors identify age-related hyperactivation of EPS8/RAC signaling in C. elegans as a driver of path...

I am beyond excited and incredibly proud to share that our work is now out in @nature.com This discovery was made possible thanks to the first author Kostas kelepouras, my fantastic lab , and the unique research environment here in Cologne in collaboration with the Hospital bambino Gesu in Rome.

🧪Move over CUT&Tag, there’s a new #TranscriptionFactor mapping method in town. Our newly developed DynaTag is faster, cleaner, more sensitive than #ChIPseq, #CUT&RUN and #CUT&Tag. 🔗 Our @natcomms.nature.com paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵Let’s break down what makes DynaTag so powerful (1/7)
Image credit: @gloglita.bsky.social‬ @lifescienceeditors.bsky.social‬ captured DynaTag in action: a pA-Tn5 probe (multicoloured) binds an antibody (white), which binds p53 DNA-binding domain (green) on DNA (blue) within 2 nucleosomes

Very nice paper showing that mRNA vaccines not merely elicit adaptive responses, but also epigenetically train innate immunity, too. 👇🏻👇🏻

New research by Jan Rybniker and @epistrucstab.bsky.social reveals that the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine triggers innate immune memory by establishing persistent H3K27ac epigenetic marks in human macrophages. Two consecutive doses are needed for this persistence ➡️ www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....
