Our paper on apoptotic chromatin compaction is out now! Take a look in @embojournal.org, where we investigate compaction in living and dying cells, and show that histone deacetylation prevents DNA from spilling into extracellular vesicles in apoptosis @gerlichlab.bsky.social @imbavienna.bsky.social

Our latest paper is out in @embojournal.org! Chromatin compaction is a hallmark of apoptosis, but the mechanism & function of this process was unclear. We show apoptotic compaction is required to prevent fragmented DNA from spreading beyond the dying cell, and is driven by histone deacetylation.

Recess time at IMP–IMBA @impvienna.bsky.social @imbavienna.bsky.social ! ✨ Yesterday, Daniel @danielgerlich.bsky.social took the stage to present some of the latest work from the Gerlich Lab. Always a great opportunity to hear exciting science from across both institutes.

Congratulations to Sophie Koller (Campbell Lab), who defended her PhD work titled “Combinatorial effects of multiple genes drive strong aneuploidy phenotypes”! 🥳 Well done! 🤩 @univie.ac.at @meduniwien.ac.at
