A geothermal amoeba sets a new upper temperature limit for eukaryotes
The amoeba Incendiamoeba cascadensis demonstrates that eukaryotic life can withstand temperatures beyond what was thought possible and sheds light on molecular strategies for survival in extreme heat.

Corals internalise algae into their cells to form a symbiosis that underpins reef ecosystems. How does the host integrate symbionts into its body plan? Happy to share our preprint: Symbiont spatial organisation is dynamically regulated within cnidarian host tissues. doi.org/10.64898/202...
A confocal microscopy image of a tentacle bud stage cnidarian polyp with symbionts embedded in its tissue. The polyp morphology is visualised with an actin stain and the symbionts are visualised with their segmentation masks.

To probe gene-scale chromatin physics, we built 96-mer (20 kb) arrays with defined histone marks. Combining single-molecule tracking, AFM imaging, and developing in vitro Hi-C, we saw how specific modifications dictate chromatin structure and dynamics. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Gene-scale in vitro reconstitution reveals histone acetylation directly controls chromatin architecture
Reconstituting 20-kb chromatin shows that tuning acetylation alone reshapes its folding, dynamics, and contact domain formation.

I wrote something on developmental biology and disability and put it up on the node last night: thenode.biologists.com/developmenta... I've been nervous to share because some of it veers a bit personal but they are thoughts that won't stay quiet. Would love to know what people think about it!
