The Stem Cell Epigenetics Lab: Nuclear and chromatin architecture of adipogenesis
We investigate mechanisms by which high-order and local features of chromatin and nuclear architecture pattern adipose stem cell fate in health and disease.
Keywords: 3D chromatin, nuclear lamina, adipose tissue, laminopathies, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.
