Ever wondered how robust cellular identity is to external perturbations? Here we disrupt cellular environmnent in vivo and in vitro, and find cell population specific sensitivities. Environment sculpts development yes, but not all cells are made of the same wood. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Cell-extrinsic controls over neocortical neuron fate and diversity

Cell-extrinsic cues are key for neocortical cell identity and diversity.

This therapy builds on research from Carlos Belmonte, @neuroviana.bsky.social and colleagues, who showed how corneal cold receptors drive tear production and identified TRPM8 as a target. Once again showcasing the international nature of scientific progress.

Sharing our newest study led by the incredibly talented @federicamosti.bsky.social investigating new molecular mechanisms of human brain development. We discover a human-specific enhancer HAR1984 that influences chromatin looping to promote cortical size and folding! www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

I guess genes have something to do on how big brains are. Genes do determine and change brain folds, as shown by a number of different studies from multiple labs worldwide.

Could be, although we suspect that newborn neurons that are transcriptomically very similar (clustered) may be epigenomically distinct.

It has been an absolute pleasure for our lab to attend #ECCN2025 for the first time this year.

We had meaningful discussions and learned a lot from a vibrant community tackling tough questions on brain evolution and development! Super excited for what lies ahead!
