New preprint in collab with Capelson & Schindler labs):
Nuclear pore complexes are developmentally removed and rebuilt during oocyte specification. Blocking turnover prevents gene silencing and meiotic entry.
Nuclear architecture renewal is required for cell fate.

Friends! I am so happy to share our new preprint!

Hydrogen peroxide has been the most common reactive chemical threat to life forms since the Great Oxygenation Event 2.5 billion years ago.

How do animals like C. elegans sense it fast and escape?

Our new paper reveals critical new regulators of stem cell differentiation that control where the right kinds of cells are made in planarians.

In particular, we find Anosmin—a gene responsible for Kallmann Syndrome—as a restrictor of neurogenesis.
