Thrilled to share our latest study to understand the genomic and epigenetic roles of TDP-43 in regulating local gene expression, long range promoter-enhancer interaction and transposable elements expression via R-loop and 5hmC crosstalk. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

Congratulations, @Sloan_Lab and team. Glad to contribute to this wonderful study!
Very excited to share our lab's latest work exploring the shared and divergent aspects of human astrocyte development and glioblastoma. This effort spans many fields from developmental glial biology to stem cells and tumor biology. rdcu.be/d5ADz A 🧵(also come to 🦋!)

Our results not only provide a common mechanism underlying genome-wide DNA modification dysregulation across several neurodegenerative disorders involved in TDP-43 proteinopathies, but also point to a general genomic roles RNA-binding proteins in brain functions and diseases.
