@epihmgu.bsky.social
We consist of almost 30 labs from 17 Helmholtz Munich institutes, all committed to performing ground-breaking research in the field of epigenetics.
Great work EpiCrossBorders! Looking forward seeing more great achievements from our students and PIs this year
EpiCrossBorders@epicrossborders.bsky.social · 3mo agoEpiCrossBorders Week in Edinburgh was a great mix of collaboration & innovation. Starting with a Biotech Start‑Up Ideation Workshop and ending with a 2‑day symposium engaging PI's and students—we can't believe it is our penultimate year! Still so much to look forward to and achieve #EpiCrossBorders

Delighted to share our paper, out today in @natplants.nature.com Not all “wasted” carbon is lost: formate released during photorespiration can be reused to support DNA methylation. Our work reveals a metabolic link between CO₂ levels and epigenetic regulation in Arabidopsis. doi.org/10.1038/s414...
Photorespiration is linked to DNA methylation by formate as a one-carbon source - Nature Plants
This study reveals that Arabidopsis reassimilates formate produced during photorespiration via the cytosolic folate cycle to fuel DNA methylation, forming a metabolic–epigenetic bridge that links elev...
