#Diet remodels #chromatin structure and extends survival in models of #glioma. D. Deneen, B. Lozzi et al @marcogalloTX @DoctorGRao @PNASNews @bcmhouston @BCMNeurosurgery @TexasChildrens pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.26…
I am super excited to share my most recent work! Have you ever wondered how an embryo receives nutrients before the placenta is established?

We describe maternal-fetal exchange across the yolk sac during early gestation and how altered maternal nutrient levels impact embryonic brain development

A huge shoutout to my friends and colleagues @BCMFromtheLabs, @CAGTHouston, @bcm_neurosci, and my mentors @ronparchem, @jackie_parchem, and the twitterless Rick Finnell for all of the support on this manuscript. Importantly, thank you to the reviewers who helped improve this work

NEW ISSUE! Discussing free radicals (@mg_nikolaidis), metabolomic epidemiology (@BurcuDarst), sex differences in memory (@FrickKaryn), maternal metabolism in neural development (@KeulsRachel), mitochondrial bioenergetics (@KimSnary) and organ crosstalk: cell.com/endocrinology-metab…
Just got the best news about my F31 after a long day 👀 I had to ask someone else if I was seeing this correctly. So thankful to everyone who helped me get here 🫶🏽

#NIH is seeking input on challenges affecting retention in the postdoctoral trainee community. Better understanding of these challenges will help NIH support competitiveness & innovation within biomedical research & its workforce. RFI deadline is 4/14: bit.ly/3E8fRGz
We deserve more. @bcmhouston responded by raising our stipend by 2k which doesn’t cover inflation increases. When students bring up financial difficulties at gsbs meetings, we are dismissed and told we should be grateful as we are JUST trainees. 🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Those of us firstgen students without family money wanting to stay in academia should be able to stay in our PhD programs long enough to obtain publications required for our next career stage without financial worries.

🚨‼️Its FINALLY out!! I am so excited to share my latest work on how cranial neural crest use post-transcriptional regulation to expand chromatin accessibility for the capacity to differentiate into multiple lineages🧵 @BCMFromtheLabs @CAGTHouston pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22…
Further, we identify that miR-302, a microRNA critical for pluripotency, is expressed in cranial neural crest and expands chromatin accessibility in the neuronal lineage by targeting chromatin condensing genes and targets Sox9 to control timing of ectomesenchymal specification

Thank you to all of my friends and colleagues at BCM for supporting this project, to all of the conference organizers who have given me a huge platform over the years, to the reviewers for improving this work, and to my mentor @ronparchem for teaching me how to be a scientist.
