📣 Very proud our young & talented lab members will be presenting at the IBUB-OBD Early Career Day 22nd May 2026 - Faculty of Chemistry UB. They will present their outstanding work published in NAR, Sci Adv & Prot Soc Trans @ibub-ub.bsky.social @bqbiomedmolub.bsky.social @biologiaub.bsky.social

🎯 Teaching period at @biologiaub.bsky.social This year we are a class of students from our university UB different "Bio" degrees, from UPC and Erasmus from all over the world (Iran, Sweden, Germany, Turkey, Syria, Finland, Italy, Lebanon, France). Wishing they will make a better & peaceful world 🚀🌍

How fast does a protein fold? Real-time technique captures the moment Proteins assume complex 3D shapes even faster than does DNA, which is a simpler molecule.

Scientists say they have made some of the first direct measurements of how long it takes an individual, ordinary protein to fold – and the results were surprising.

Native chromatome profiling reveals hundreds of metabolic enzymes in the nucleus across tissues - Nature Communications Here proteomic chromatome analysis shows metabolic enzymes widely localize to chromatin in cancer in a tissue-specific manner. Nuclear enzymes affect DNA damage/repair and transcription, revealing non...

New paper out in Nature Communications:
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
We found >250 metabolic enzymes on chromatin.
Only ~20 had been reported before.
This means hundreds of metabolic enzymes may have unexplored nuclear roles.

Acute NIPBL depletion reveals in vivo dynamics of loop extrusion and its role in transcription activation - Nature Genetics Acute depletion of NIPBL reveals a class of chromatin loops that are independent of NIPBL for their maintenance but not their establishment and that NIPBL is necessary for the expression of lineage-de...

Very excited to share my postdoc research in the @jesserdixon.bsky.social lab at @salkinstitute.bsky.social, out online at @natgenet.nature.com today! www.nature.com/articles/s41... We investigated the function of the cohesin accessory protein NIPBL, making two particularly interesting findings:

📢 Read our new bioRx in colab with Gordon Hager NIH @PabloFuentesP #FRecio @aguslafuent @PresmanLab @WaghKaustubh #IGoldstein et al where we found glucocorticoid receptor GR self-assembly, chromatin binding & activity is modulated by bile acids binding to a novel druggable site

🎯 We are so thrilled our new paper @narjournal.bsky.social is out! Fantastic collab with the labs of Gordon Hager NIH & Franck Dequiedt. Heaviest lifting from Greg Fettweiss, Kaustub Wagh, Diana Stavreva & Alba Jiménez-Panizo. Big thanks to Andrea Alegre-Marti JdC 🥳✨️

Does a cell’s gene expression always reflect its function? Transcriptionally similar neurons can be functionally diverse.

Evidence suggests that transcriptionally similar cells can be functionally diverse
