IDENTIFICATION OF CANCER- AND METASTASIS-RELATED EPIGENETIC DYNAMICS USING PATIENT-DERIVED ORGANOIDS
… mutations. This suggests that cells might be epigenetically reprogrammed to undergo those phenotypic alterations. Regarding this, enhancers are crucial since their activation is tightly cell-type-specific. Accordingly, we have recently identified a group of enhancers selectively activated in …

Developmental Dynamics of 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine and its Role in the Terminal Differentiation of Neurons
<p>While epigenetic dynamics in mitotic differentiating cells have been characterized in depth, little is known about how postmitotic neurons regulate their chromatin state. Modulation of transcription through the regulation of accessibility of transcription factor binding sites is essential for …

Pioneer Factors Compete for Epigenetic Factors in Switching Stem Cell Fates
… to re-activate SOX9 in adult EpdSCs. Combining epigenetic, proteomic, and functional analyses, I interrogated the ensuing transcriptional and epigenetic dynamics, slowed temporally by the mature EpdSC niche microenvironment. My findings demonstrate that SOX9 plays a dual role in the …

APPROACHING DNA METHYLATION AT THE NANOSCALE
Epigenetics involves a variety of biochemical modifications occurring on chromatin that are able to regulate and fine-tune genetic activities without altering the underlying DNA sequence. So far, four types of epigenetic modulation have been extensively studied: DNA methylation, histone …

THE INTERGENERATIONAL IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURES: MOLECULAR INSIGHTS FROM MODELLING PLURIPOTENCY TRANSITIONS THROUGH THE HUMAN GERMLINE
… model capable of capturing transcriptomic and epigenetic dynamics across generations, thus making epigenetic inheritance experimentally tractable in humans. We then used this model to investigate the intergenerational impact of EDCs on human neurodevelopment. To this aim, we also leveraged …
