Thanks Genes & Development for using our work of TGF-β induced MLL4 recruitment as cover page 📓🧬. We reveal a novel role for the histone methyltransferase MLL4 (KMT2D) in transcriptional responses to TGF-β. We show that MLL4 is recruited to TGF-β target genes including JUNB while TGF-β treatment.

Yesterday, half of #Freiburg’s business world gathered at the Europa-Stadion: 5k company run #b2run. We were there too – driven by curiosity – with runners from the @flurylab.bsky.social @julianeg.bsky.social @jumanaaha.bsky.social labs & other departments of the MPI-IE. Congrats to all finishers! 💪

😎 Our lecture hall was pretty packed. Almost 100 researchers from the TriRhena region and beyond came together for the latest edition of the Gene Regulation Club at MPI-IE. Thanks to everyone involved: @igbmc.bsky.social @fmiscience.bsky.social, @cibss.bsky.social @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social, …

We cooled down the city of Freiburg a bit (currently 23°C) to heat up for the upcoming TriRhena Gene Regulation Club at the MPI-IE. The ½ day symposium starts today at 2PM in the lecture hall – with scientists from @fmiscience.bsky.social, @igbmc.bsky.social & MPI. Looking forward to a 🆒 meeting.
