Early epigenetic priming of regeneration studied with a novel transgenic epigenetic reporter
Tissue regeneration requires previously differentiated cells to regain developmental plasticity. However, the upstream mechanisms initiating this process remain poorly understood. Here, we leverage a ...

I am thrilled to share our recent publication, led by recent PhD graduate Dr. Syeda Lamia + collab with @brianglancylab.bsky.social, on how overexpression of EYFP using optogenetic mouse strains leads to skeletal muscle contractile dysfunction. 🧵

Overexpression of enhanced yellow fluorescent protein fused with Channelrhodopsin‐2 causes contractile dysfunction in skeletal muscle
Optogenetic tools like Channelrhodpsin-2 (ChR2) are useful for inducing skeletal muscle contraction using blue light. However, the prevalence of fluorescent proteins like EYFP may cause functional is...
