En révolutionnant la façon dont nous voyons les animaux et par extension nous-mêmes, Jane Goodall a changé le monde.

Pionnière de l’éthologie et défenseuse inlassable de la faune sauvage, elle laisse un héritage inestimable.

Et elle inspirera des générations de petites filles.

We uncover that the caudal splanchnic mesoderm (in green) acts as a midline anchor of the heart tube. In Vangl2 and Shroom3 mutants, its bilateral symmetry is disrupted, leading to a rotation of the heart tube and ventricle malposition.

New publication :
Despite being a core member of the PCP pathway, Vangl2 can play roles unrelated to planar polarity. This is the case during mouse heart morphogenesis.

Despite their high rigidity, microtubules (MTs) dynamically bend and buckle in cells. MT-self repair is inherent to their metastable nature, but it remains unclear whether just inherent repair mechanisms are sufficient to maintain MT integrity🧵 (1/9)

Il y a moins de 3 ans, personne n'utilisait ChatGPT. Aujourd'hui, c'est semble-t-il devenu indispensable pour des millions de Français. Mais à quel prix ?

Consommation d'électricité, consommation d'eau, extraction de matières premières... l'intelligence artificielle est un gouffre énergétique.
