Extensive programmed centriole elimination unveiled in C. elegans embryos

Pierre Gönczy, Nils Kalbfuss

Centrioles are critical for fundamental cellular processes, including signaling, motility, and division. The extent to which centrioles are present after cell cycle exit in a developing organism is not known. The stereotypical lineage of Caenorhabditis ele ...

Multivalent Peptide Ligands To Probe the Chromocenter Microenvironment in Living Cells

Nora Guidotti, Maxime Nicolas Mivelaz, Beat Fierz, Pablo Rivera Fuentes, Adam Miklos Eördögh

Chromatin is spatially organized into functional states that are defined by both the presence of specific histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) and a defined set of chromatin-associated “reader” proteins. Different models for the underlying mecha ...
