Two recent new publications from our laboratory, led by the amazing Jacob Odell and @ElpersMaggie, respectively, shed new insights into the role of nuclear #lamins and nuclear #mechanobiology in two different contexts.

we found that polarization of bone marrow derived macrophages results in increased nuclear stiffness, despite a decrease in lamin A/C levels. This increase in nuclear stiffness was due to compaction of chromatin associated with polarization into M1-like macrophages...

... and affected the ability of the M1-like macrophages to migrate through confined spaces. Stay tuned for further updates and insights!

Very excited to be sharing our new paper, just out in Nature Cell Biology! nature.com/articles/s41556-0…
The big question we investigate: How do migrating cells put their front 🔴 and back 🔵 in the right place?

VIDEO: AI isn’t going to solve it all--or replace teachers--but it can support learning. An AI-powered reflective learning tool developed by Alexandra Werth's lab generates real-time follow-up questions to deepen student thinking in team-based learning.

Our linker histone H1 paper is featured on the cover of the April 10 issue of @ScienceAdvances.
science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
A molecular dynamics simulation of nucleosomes and linker histone H1, with single-H1 trajectories (background). 🎉 Full cover caption: science.org/toc/sciadv/12/15
Our linker histone H1 paper is out @ScienceAdvances: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
@MasaAShimazoe et al. reveal that H1 acts as a liquid-like "glue" to organize chromatin in living cells. 🎉 Fantastic collab with @rcollepardo, @janhuemar, Charlie Phillips and others—huge thanks! 🙌 ½
