When a long-term memory forms, some brain cells experience a rush of electrical activity so strong that it snaps their DNA.

Then, an inflammatory response kicks in, repairing this damage and helping to cement the memory, a study in mice shows go.nature.com/43DZQns

Just a quick reminder 👇

Our latest work => altering a critical motif in αB-crystallin leads to dynamic fibrillar assembly, unveiled by #cryoEM – key insights into small heat shock proteins assembly, dynamics & function. A pivotal step in understanding this enigmatic system! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

DNA loop extrusion by SMC motor proteins is an intriguing process that is the key organizer of our chromosomes

As I explained to you before (see our NAR 2022 paper), magnetic tweezers are a powerful single-molecule method to measure single loop extrusion steps (~40nm, 200bp)

Nucleosomes at the dawn of eukaryotes. Antoine Hocher and I discuss the earliest steps in the evolution of the nucleosome from the vantage point of archaea. Asgardarchaeal histones, the evolution of tails, heterodimerization, and much much more. academic.oup.com/gbe/advance-ar…

Another week, another #FluorescenceFriday . This week has been a mixed bag for me, finished all my posters for various events but all my experiments failed. But looking at glowing cells with a crazy actin network makes me happy again. Here it is!
