Distinct DNA-binding syntax and chromatin remodeling capacities of bHLH transcription factors in cell differentiation, reprogramming and cancer https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.02.10.705010v1
We’re excited to share our new preprint on the mechanisms underlying DNA binding by bHLH transcription factors and how they achieve distinct DNA binding specificities. The study has been spearheaded by Xabier de Martín.

💫 Another year, another #OpenPRBB!! 💫
🔬 👩🔬 👨💻
Last Saturday, October 4, @prbb.org opened its doors to the public to discover what #science is doing from within 🔍👀
Some of the members of the GRIB Barcelona have participated 🥳
La Dra. Jana Selent respon les preguntes d'en @robertcalvo.bsky.social 🎙️ sobre el paper dels #aminoàcids a la resposta de les cèl·lules davant els #fàrmacs

the new study done by the GPCR Drug Discovery Research Group of GRIB, coordinated by Dr. Jana👀👩💻
This is the conclusion of an international study led by the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, published in Nature Communications
The findings may help develop more precise drugs to treat various diseases more effectively, while avoiding side effects
@upf.edu @hospitaldelmar.bsky.social
Amino acids play a key role in how cells respond to drugs
These molecules act as small building blocks that regulate the cellular response by switching certain internal signals on or off
