Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.

Cryo-ET comparison of the hierarchical ultrastructure of silkworm, spider, and artificial silk fibers

open access: yesNature Communications
Spider and silkworm silks are renowned for their exceptional mechanical properties, which arises from their ultrastructural organization. However, this architecture remains incompletely understood.

rDNA Clusters Make Contact with Genes that Are Involved in Differentiation and Cancer and Change Contacts after Heat Shock Treatment

open access: yesCells, 2019
Human rDNA clusters form numerous contacts with different chromosomal regions as evidenced by chromosome conformation capture data. Heterochromatization of rDNA genes leads to heterochromatization in different chromosomal regions coupled with the ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

scIVNL-seq resolves in vivo single-cell RNA dynamics of immune cells during Salmonella infection

open access: yesNature Communications
The immune response against pathogens involves multiple cell state transitions and complex gene expression changes. Here, we establish a single-cell in vivo new RNA labeling sequencing method (scIVNL-seq) and apply it to survey time-resolved RNA dynamics

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

The promise of epigenetic editing strategies in functionally curing chronic hepatitis B virus infections

open access: yesEpigenetics Communications
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a major global health issue that remains without a cure due to the persistence of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and integrated DNA (intDNA) in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infected hepatocytes.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Targeting mutant p53 in cancer: the latest insights

open access: yesJournal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2019
This commentary wishes to highlight the latest discoveries in the mutant p53 field that have been discussed in the 8th p53 Mutant Workshop 2019, held in Lyon. TP53 mutant (mutp53) proteins are involved in the pathogenesis of most human cancers.

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.
