Chromatin and the cell cycle meet in Madrid.

At the end of June 2008, researchers from diverse fields, ranging from chromatin remodeling to cell cycle control, gathered in Madrid at a Cantoblanco Workshop entitled 'Chromatin at the Nexus of Cell Division and Differentiation'. The work discussed at this meeting, which was co-organized by Crisanto Gutierrez, Ben Scheres and Ueli Grossniklaus, highlighted the emerging connections that exist between cell cycle regulation and chromatin in both animals and plants.
