{Reference Type}: Interview {Title}: The people behind the papers - Paul Huber and Carole LaBonne. {Journal}: Development {Volume}: 151 {Issue}: 13 {Year}: 2024 Jul 1 {Factor}: 6.862 {DOI}: 10.1242/dev.203151 {Abstract}: The bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) family of proteins reads epigenetic histone acetylation marks on the genome and regulates the transcriptional machinery. In their study, Carole LaBonne and colleagues reveal the role of BET protein activity in the maintenance of pluripotency and establishment of the neural crest in Xenopus laevis. To know more about their work, we spoke to the first author Paul Huber and the corresponding author Carole LaBonne, Developmental and Stem Cell Biologist at Northwestern University.
