enhorabuena!
Congratulations to #SEBD board secretary @sofiajaraujo.bsky.social @araujolabub.bsky.social @geneticsub.bsky.social @ub.edu for beeing the coordinator of this funded project by #Marató2024 to work on #Drosophila as a model for respiratory diseases such as #COPD
We are thrilled to announce that we have been selected in #Marató2024, for research in respiratory diseases with our project “Translating candidate causal genes in human respiratory disease using #Drosophila melanogaster” together with the Georgiou and Sayers labs at the University of Nottingham!

Exciting news! PoL PI Elias Barriga @eliasbarrigalab.bsky.social has been awarded the Innovation Award by the German Society for Cell Biology! (DGZ) 🏆

The DGZ recognizes his contributions, including the discovery that mechanically induced electric fields guide collective cell migration. Congrats!

How do #stemcells integrate information to coordinate fate decisions? Delighted to finally see our work showing how growth factors regulate the mechano-osmotic state of the #nucleus and #chromatin to control #pluripotency exit out! www.nature.com/articles/s41... see 🧵 👇
Mechano-osmotic signals control chromatin state and fate transitions in pluripotent stem cells - Nature Cell Biology
McCreery, Stubb et al. show that mechano-osmotic changes in the nucleus induce general transcriptional repression and prime chromatin for cell fate transitions by relieving repression of specific differentiation genes.
