Published in 2025 at "Advanced Science"

DOI: 10.1002/advs.202411735

Abstract: During the formation of kidney stones, the interaction between crystals and tubular epithelial cells (TECs) leads to tubular injury and dysfunction, which in turn promote stone formation. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes in… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "Methods in molecular biology"

DOI: 10.1007/978-1-4939-4035-6_3

Abstract: Enhancers are principal regulators that allow spatiotemporal tissue-specific control of gene expression. While mounting evidence suggests that enhancer-derived long noncoding RNAs (long ncRNAs), including enhancer RNAs (eRNAs), are an important component of enhancer function, their… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences"

DOI: 10.1007/s00018-018-2820-1

Abstract: Cancer heterogeneity arises during tumor progression as a consequence of genetic insults, environmental cues, and reversible changes in the epigenetic state, favoring tumor cell plasticity. The role of enhancer reprogramming is emerging as a relevant… read more here.

Published in 2017 at "Cell reports"

DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2017.01.078

Abstract: MyoD is a master regulator of myogenesis. Chromatin modifications required to trigger MyoD expression are still poorly described. Here, we demonstrate that the histone demethylase LSD1/KDM1a is recruited on the MyoD core enhancer upon muscle… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Cell reports"

DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2020.107803

Abstract: SUMMARY The function of enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) in transcriptional regulation remains obscure. By analyzing the genome-wide nascent transcript profiles in breast cancer cells, we identify a special group of eRNAs that are essential for estrogen-induced… read more here.
