A ‘tour de force’! First description of human early telencephalon patterning & signalling centre dynamics, coupling transcriptomics & 4D gene expression imaging.
➡️ Human forebrain is distinct from mouse as soon at anterior neural plate closes. First @crick.ac.uk paper from @houartlab.bsky.social
Couldn’t be prouder of the first PhD graduate of the lab, super congrats @danafd.bsky.social 🙌🎓🌟. Such a pleasure to supervise you together with @cohouart.bsky.social @houartlab.bsky.social, the learning journey never ends 😌. Huge thanks to @jamesasharpe.bsky.social and Sylvie Retaux for examining 💥
Excited to share our new #preprint uncovering how early human forebrain is patterned.
Compared to mouse, human dorsoventral and anteroposterior telencephalon patterning is strikingly delayed, which is correlated with SHH and FGF signalling differences.

These rising stars are challenging old ideas and driving bold new approaches to speed up progress @RichardTaylor @sorayam.bsky.social @HelenRowland
Can’t be happier seeing Richard starting this. His original angle to an old problem ( 😉) has great potential for success.
Fascinating to see how findings in dev. neuro. leads to insights in age-related degenerative disorders!

What a day! Congrats to @danafd.bsky.social for great achievement. Big thanks to Sylvie Retaux & @jamesasharpe.bsky.social for very useful examination of thesis.
Absolutely loved joint supervision w. Zena! Perfect @crick.ac.uk & @kingsioppn.bsky.social combo
Dana’s day had a stiff competition 😉😉😉

How does foxg1 impact pineal gland development? What are the implications for FOXG1 syndrome?
Lewis Hill, masters student, investigates this in #zebrafish. His image shows in-situ HCR + immuno in foxg1,Gal4;UAS,GFP zebrafish at 24hpf revealing foxg1 mRNA/protein with pineal markers aanat2 & exorh.

A question I get asked all the time by @dev-journal.bsky.social authors "Why does it cost so much to publish a paper?"
We break down the finances and explain where the money goes

For many of us who work in scientific publishing, the title of this Editorial is a question we hear all the time when we're out talking to academics. And it's a perfectly reasonable one. After all, re...
Cancer Research UK is fed up of paying too much for open access publishing so they are completely stopping funding this activity:

The open access movement was bold and promising, but ultimately disappointing. Now is the time to stop and call for a new way to make publishing work…
