Dr. Jane Goodall has passed away. Her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees and her lifelong dedication to conservation changed how we see and care for our planet.

Jane Goodall has died at the age of 91.

In 2020, Goodall spoke with Science Editor-in-Chief H. Holden Thorp for a #ScienceEditorial reflecting on the 60th anniversary of her arrival in Gombe to study wild chimpanzees. Read more: https://scim.ag/472Chb8
"… Goodall’s … is a story of genuine scientific curiosity, determination, and respect for
nature and humanity …" H. Holden Thorp, Editor-in-chief, Science journals

Happy to share the Biodiversity Cell Atlas white paper, out today in @nature.com. We look at the possibilities, challenges, and potential impacts of molecularly mapping cells across the tree of life.

Open questions:
Is nuclear metabolism linked to #aging?
Can we reverse the aging process by restoring nuclear metabolism?
What else besides PIP2?

If you are interested in answering these questions, please contact us!

Our study links nuclear PIP2 metabolism to nucleoli structure, histone modification, and cell cycle progression. This provides evidence that nuclear metabolism oscillations can control cell cycle progression, which, when altered, can induce cell cycle arrest and cell senescence.

4) The aberrant localization of PIP2 in the nucleus/nucleoli and the alteration of the nucleoli structure lead to changes in the accumulation of histone marks. For example, H4K20me1 decreases, which subsequently affects proper cell cycle progression.
sdelcilab.bsky.social
3) What happens to cells when we interfere with PIP2 metabolism in the nucleus? In addition to preventing cell cycle progression, the structure of the nucleolus is affected and the localization of PIP2 to the Fibrillarin-labeled nucleoli region is altered.

2) We used our lab's gold standard chromatome protocol to study the oscillation of metabolic enzymes on chromatin during the cell cycle. We identified a correlation between cell cycle progression and PIP2 metabolism on chromatin.

1) By integrating FUCCI reporters and classical proliferation/senescent markers, we identified a population of cells, which we termed G0-senescent, that had never before been identified using FUCCI.
sdelcilab.bsky.social
Our initial question was: does the cell cycle control the association of metabolic enzymes with chromatin? The short answer is YES!
We adapted the FUCCI system and extensively characterized U2OS FUCCI using HT-microscopy and FACS.

As promised, here is our NEW preprint on CELL CYCLE ASSOCIATED PIP2 NUCLEAR METABOLISM by our SUPER postdoc Toni Gañez, who knows all the secrets of FUCCI reporters 👇

Merry Christmas from the Sdelci Lab!

Stay tuned for our last preprint before the end of the year... lots of FUCCI colors 🎄-style and metabolic enzymes on chromatin during cell cycle progression
