Congratulations to Noemi Destefani for her best presentations award at the Biological Macromolecules meeting of the Italian Crystallographic Association! Her work in our lab on the BCR signalling in CLL is building a nice story with new perspectives for personalized therapies. Way to go!

A great morning with the PhD theses discussion committee. Happy to see some promising young scientists taking off towards bright careers. And some very interesting work from my colleague’s lab @ostunilab.bsky.social I wasn’t aware of 😅

Amazing finding!
Scared to share this after 10 freaking years of waiting, but here we go: We found that temperature *perception* can change the biology of the next generations, even when “it’s just in the parents' head”. Read how C. elegans neurons control epigenetic inheritance!

Perception of Temperature Even in the Absence of Actual Change is Sufficient to Drive Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance
Can processes occurring in one individuals nervous system influence the physiology of the descendants? Here we explored the provocative hypothesis that parents sensation or perception of environmental...

We have manuscript out for peer review for 52 days (and counting). I wonder if it’s done on purpose, allowing it to age like sone fine red wine to let additional flavors (results?) to develop… #frustration

If you are traveling near Modena in Italy, make sure to stop in Maranello and check out the incredible food at Trattoria La Fontana. Definitely in the top three of my beloved places, also because of the friendly personnel. Always a pleasure, looking forward to the next visit!!
