Maria Christophorou

PI in #Epigenetics. Fascinated by how stem cells work and how our genes make us. Can’t wait to find out what #citrullination is all about. Own views. She/her.

Our new #preprint by @phdanmoore has:
✅ A KRAB Zinc Finger (the SCAN domain-containing kind)
✅ #transposon sequences (the SINE kind)
✅ #epigenetic regulation (the #enhancer kind)
✅ lineage specification (the neural kind)
❌ and NO heterochromatin!

Daniel drove and executed this work during his 4-year PhD. It's a bit difficult to convey how impressed I've been! 🚀🚀

So congratulations to him and thank you to our collaborators Eugenia Wong, @stefanschoenfe1, @mikhailspivakov and @simon_andrews.

[Maria Christophorou @MAChristoLab]

Many congratulations Chien-Yun and team! Great to see this out.

@MekaylaStorer @Byron_Mui @KevinChalut @Franze_Lab Congratulations on this beautiful work!

[Maria Christophorou @MAChristoLab]

Thank you @J_Cell_Sci for giving us the opportunity to write this article. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

[J Cell Science @J_Cell_Sci]

Fantastic proteins and where to find them – histones, in the nucleus and beyond
Johanna Grinat, Noah Shriever and @MAChristolab discuss the evolution & mechanisms of chromatin externalisation and (patho)physiological functions of extracellular histones.

[Maria Christophorou @MAChristoLab]

This has been one of the most enjoyable pieces of work I have ever undertaken. There is something so wonderful about becoming immersed in academic work – reading, thinking, discussing, writing.

Thank you to @J_Cell_Sci for prompting us to put other things aside and focus on it!

[Maria Christophorou @MAChristoLab]

Dear #Epigenetics Friends & Colleagues – Do YOU know where your histones are?

Our Xmas prezzie to the community (and perfect holiday reading): we went hunting for #histones and found them in all sorts of weird and wonderful places.

We report here 👇 https://t.co/sdYOXA30Wx

[Maria Christophorou @MAChristoLab]

With many thanks to @J_Cell_Sci, @Co_Biologists and @seemasainson for inviting us to write this article and congratulations to co-first authors, PhD student Noah Shriever and postdoc @JohannaGrinat.
