We also found that stiffening of the neural crest substrate is required for histone serotonylation! how? by promoting the translocation of Tgm2, the enzyme that writes #histone serotonylation.

We discovered that histone serotonylation, a #chromatinmark that was discovered by @ian_maze2 occurs in the #neuralcrest where it is required for #collectivecellmigration
