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
Congratulations to the @aims2trials.bsky.social team who have been awarded a EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Black Pearl Award for Patient Engagement, for their commitment to involving patients as equal partners in research. 🏆 🧠
