Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Nuclear architecture explored by live-cell fluorescence microscopy using laser and ion microbeam irradiation. [PDF]
Nuclear architecture is a biological field of research that studies the spatio-temporal organization of the components within cell nuclei. Since nuclei are the organelles that harbor the genome and epigenome, they are the place where most of the genetic ...

Chromatin architecture and nuclear RNA. [PDF]
The maintenance of normal chromatin morphology requires ongoing RNA synthesis. We have examined the role of RNA in chromatin organization, using selective detergent extraction of cells, RNA synthesis inhibitors, and enzymatic digestion of nuclear RNA.

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

H2A.Z facilitates access of active and repressive complexes to chromatin in embryonic stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. [PDF]
SummaryChromatin modifications have been implicated in the self-renewal and differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). However, the function of histone variant H2A.Z in ESCs remains unclear.

Dynamic chromatin architecture of the porcine adipose tissues with weight gain and loss
Using an adult female miniature pig model with diet-induced weight gain/weight loss, we investigated the regulatory mechanisms of three-dimensional (3D) genome architecture in adipose tissues (ATs) associated with obesity.
