Hi friends! I am a guest editor for a new collection in BMC Biology called "Pluripotency, differentiation, and reprogramming" and we just opened for submissions. Looking for research articles and reviews, please reach out if you are interested. I'm excited for helping with this collection!

Excited to see our review is out @wileyonlinelibrary.bsky.social on CHD chromatin remodelers! We cover their roles in ES cells and early development in health and disease. Thanks to @hainerlab.bsky.social for her insight and guidance. #chromatin #Epigenetics
The talented @isa-ozdemir.bsky.social wrote a review of CHD remodelers, discussing all 9 family members and their roles in ES cells and early development. dx.doi.org/10.1002/bies... 1/2

Nematode towers that you can get to grow in lab using C. elegans. Maybe a new, tractable model system for studying self-organization in the lab. 🧪 "Towering behavior and collective dispersal in Caenorhabditis nematodes" by Perez et al. (2025, Current Biology) www.cell.com/current-biol...
Towering behavior and collective dispersal in Caenorhabditis nematodes
Perez et al. report that self-assembling nematode towers occur in nature and can function as collective dispersal structures. Using Caenorhabditis elegans, they establish a tractable empirical model t...

Really beautiful paper by @kjarmache.bsky.social revealing read-write mechanisms of histone ubiquitylation by Polycomb complexes - through an intricate interplay of ubiquitin binding and ubiquitin transfer. Congratulations to all authors! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Read–write mechanisms of H2A ubiquitination by Polycomb repressive complex 1 - Nature
Cryo-electron microscopy and biochemical studies elucidate the read–write mechanisms of non-canonical PRC1-containing RYBP in histone H2A lysine 119 monoubiquitination and their roles in maintaining e...

In less than a day, over 30 mentors joined the C. elegans Mentor Match Program! Mentors can sign up here: tinyurl.com/37msvdm7 We will start signing up mentees and peer-mentors soon. And please spread the word! You can share this QR code with your lab and encourage them to sign up as mentors.
Check out the beautiful work of my colleagues Meghana and Marco! It showcases how transcription independent propagation (!) of an active chromatin mark is essential for faithful ZGA
✨ Excited to share my latest preprint on how H3K4 methylation promotes transcriptional memory from gametes to embryos across a transcriptionally silent window — crucial for proper zygotic genome activation and development. 🐸🧬✨ 📄 Check it out here: doi.org/10.1101/2025... 👇 Highlights below
