Yoichi Shinkai joins Pierre-Antoine Defossez’s group, from September 1 to November 23, 2023. Yoichi and Pierre-Antoine work together on a project called “Functional screenings for research in epigenetics”.
Four talks by Dr Shinkai are planned:
- Monday, September 18, 2023, Epigenetics and Cell Fate Centre
“Histone modifications in genome regulation”
More information - Tuesday, October 3, 2023, seminar series by the MEG and EUR GENE
“Epigenetics in biological activities”
More information - Friday, October 20, 2023, Institut Jacques Monod
“Biology of histidine methylation”
More information - Wednesday, November 22, 2023, Epigenetics and Cell Fate Centre

New research article on the role of SETDB1 in regulating inflammation and fibrosis in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
In this paper, we show that SETDB1 regulates the TGFβ-induced secretome and identify EMILIN1, an extracellular matrix protein, as a novel player in this process. EMILIN1 is overexpressed in muscle biopsies from DMD patients and influences both myogenic differentiation...
