Diversos medios, incluyendo la revista Quo, se han hecho eco de la investigación liderada por Ferran Azorín, profesor de Investigación del CSIC y jefe del grupo de Estructura y Función de la Cromatina del IRB Barcelona. El estudio revela por qué la histona 1 es un protector principal de la estabilidad del genoma y una proteína vital para el organismo.
Publicado en Nature Communications, este trabajo explica por primera vez que la supresión de la histona 1 produce daño celular e inestabilidad genómica (lesiones en el ADN).
