Excited to share our latest manuscript in @CellCellPress. Here we discovered neuropeptides that specify and reprogram the division of labor in leafcutter ants! https://t.co/IhlAURUG5z

[Berger Lab @berger_lab]

We are excited to see our postdoc @tran_khoa paper out today in @MolecularCell! He finds that SIRT7 regulates NUCKS1 chromatin binding during senescence and aging! https://t.co/bCvzSLkwEc

New research from @berger_lab reveals that nuclear speckle patterns in kidney tumors may predict treatment response in clear cell #RenalCellCarcinoma. This discovery could guide personalized therapies, offering hope for improved outcomes. #KidneyCancer https://t.co/m0yGhX9Ftq

[Nature Cell Biology @NatureCellBio]

💫NEW by @berger_lab & co: #NuclearSpeckle (NS) constituents have 2 expression states in #cancer correlating with patient survival & HIF-2α functional programs. HIF-2α mediates NS association of key genes activated in renal cancer.
