4DCellFate movie with two versions now on youtube

The project's main outputs are summarised in a 4DCellFate video that can be found on youtube. It includes interviews of the coordinator Luciano Di Croce and the two PIs Ernest Laue and Brian Hendrich as well as animations to explain the scientific background.

Two versions can be found, the full version of about 15min and a short version of about 6min.

4DCellFate news article in EMBO encounters

EMBO Encounters recently published the following news article we submitted about the 4DCellFate project:

The fate of stem cells in four dimensions

An ambitious new project, 4DCellFate (www.4dcellfate.eu), will study the roles of the Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase (NuRD) and Polycomb Repressive (PRC) complexes in regulating differentiation in embryonic stem cells.

Bringing together European excellence to uncover the mechanisms at work that determine cell fate.

Barcelona, February 13th, 2012. As life begins, embryonic stem cells start to divide and develop into tissue ("differentiate"). Each stem cell has the potential to differentiate into different types of tissue cells, such as neurons, muscle, or blood cells, and the molecular mechanisms that determine its fate are highly complex. The earliest steps of differentiation are orchestrated by sophisticated and dynamic protein machineries.
