@akispapantonis.bsky.socialEach human (resting CD4+ T) cell has about 2 meters of DNA crammed into the nucleus. Therefore, the challenge is not just storing DNA but folding it in a way that preserves function. rdcu.be/fsd7v
Show PostIMO the paper of the year in the gene regulation field - such a clean and clear study, showing how promoter-enhancer contacts mediate transcriptional activation. www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

Show PostGreat to see it published! Loved the preprint and hope to catch up at some point!
Show Post1/ Our paper, “Enhancer binding kinetics explain transcription factor hub formation,” is now published! Here we set out to understand why transcription factors form bright clusters or “hubs” in the nucleus, and whether those hubs actually control gene activity. tinyurl.com/38uf8348
