MEET THE LAB!

This week our postdoc René Winkler will attend the @febspress.bsky.social workshop 'Molecular and cellular pathways of aging in hematopoiesis' on Crete, Greece.

René will present work led by @shubhra.bsky.social on how cohesin mutations impact MDS progression.

The TArgeted Cohesin Loader (TACL) paper was just published. Happy that we were able to contribute to this really exciting project!

If you want to learn how targeting cohesin to defined loci in the genome affects the local chromatin environment and transcription, look no further!

Congratulations to Masahiro Nagano on his new paper on STAG3-cohesin.

STAG3-cohesin has a much shorter residence time which leads to altered 3D genome organization and STAG3-cohesin is important for male germ cell differentiation.

Super cool cover! Especially excited to read more on tissue specific immunity and biological sex here.
This week @science.org examines the wonders of the immune system! From molecular defences that co-evolved with pathogens to specialised cells that are intricately linked with physiology, the immune system is attuned to biological sex and different stages of life.
A new special issue of Science explores the immune system at the molecular and cellular level and how it has evolved to govern multiple facets of human health.
