Is euchromatin really “open”? Our new study @bioRxiv suggests otherwise. Using super-resolution imaging @shiori-iida.bsky.social‬ @masaashimazoe.bsky.social reveals: Euchromatin forms condensed domains in live cells. Cohesin constrains them and prevents domain mixing.

BRD4-NUT forms liquid-like condensates that locally constrain nucleosomes via BRD4-mediated crosslinking— physical control of #chromatin by #LLPS transcription condensates. @semeigazin.bsky.social @katsuminami.bsky.social @masaashimazoe.bsky.social

🧬My retrospective chromatin review is out @Proc Jpn Acad:
doi.org/10.2183/pjab...
The textbook view of #chromatin as 30-nm fibers is fading.
A new paradigm: chromatin forms #liquid-like domains—locally dynamic, yet globally stable at the chromosome level (viscoelastic)—supporting genome function. ✨

🧬Our Repli-Histo labeling marks nucleosomes in euchromatin and heterochromatin in live human cells.
🔍 @katsuminami.bsky.social et al. have developed a chromatin behavior atlas within the nucleus. 1/2

@masaashimazoe.bsky.social et al. reveal that linker histone H1 acts as a liquid-like glue to organize chromatin in living cells. 🎉 Fantastic collab with @rcollepardo.bsky.social @janhuemar.bsky.social and others—huge thanks! 🙌 1/

We are seeking a motivated postdoc to join our lab!  Our research focuses on live-cell imaging/analysis to reveal how chromatin behaves in living cells and how its behavior contributes to cellular functions.
