In last years, we have been particularly interested in understanding how the timing of stem cell function is coordinated (<em>i.e.<\/em> biological clocks), how stem cells from distant tissues communicate to coordinate their function at the organismal level, and how their epigenome adapts from steady-state conditions to situations of stress. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>I will present our latest data regarding the impact our diet has on the clock of stem cells and surrounding niche cells, and its profound effect on stem cell ageing. I will also discuss our recent finding on metastatic-initiating cells and how their metastatic potential is fully dependent on dietary fatty acids. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Luciano Di Croce<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our lab is interested in understanding how epigenetic modifications&nbsp;and chromatin changes are established and, once in place, how&nbsp;they affect gene expression, cell differentiation and transformation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Polycomb and MLL\/Trithorax complexes are evolutionarily&nbsp;conserved chromatin-modifying factors originally identified as part&nbsp;of an epigenetic cellular memory system that maintains repressed&nbsp;or active gene expression states.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I will discuss how Polycomb and MLL proteins (including novel&nbsp;associated factors) impact on transcription, genome architecture,&nbsp;and their role in stem cell biology and cancer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span>The ICREA colloquia are a great way to learn about remote fields of research from our best experts.
