Paraspeckle protein NONO regulates active chromatin by allosterically stimulating NSD1
cell.com
Hsu et al. identify a biochemical association between nuclear paraspeckle protein NONO and histone methyltransferase NSD1. Mechanistically, NONO allosterically stimulates NSD1 through its aromatic...

Is euchromatin really “open”? 🧬Our new study @bioRxiv suggests otherwise. Using super-resolution imaging🔬 @shiori_iida @MasaAShimazoe reveals: Euchromatin forms condensed domains in live cells. Cohesin constrains them and prevents domain mixing. 🔗 https://t.co/2iISQjxjgh (1/3)

Through tirelessly efforts, our graduate student @cheni_hsu published a manuscript in @STARProtocols to reconstitute enzymatic activities for ultra-large (>300kDa) histone methyltransferases NSD1 and SETD2. To our best knowledge, this is the first time their full-length forms

I'm suing the Trump administration over its unconstitutional and dangerous dismantling of @HHSGov. Firing scientists, silencing doctors, and shuttering programs that help firefighters breathe and children thrive don't make America healthy. It puts lives at risk.

Singapore created the world's most efficient healthcare system from scratch in one generation. They spend $4,000 per person on healthcare. We spend $15,000. Their secret? The exact opposite of what American "experts" recommend: 🧵

The indiscriminate and ill-conceived slashing of indirects by the @NIH yesterday must be amended if want to restore America’s leadership role biomedical research. 15% simply isn’t enough for institutions to provide the basic infrastructure needed to run a successful lab. I say
