The paper is out in journal format at EJN! We thank the reviewers for their insightful comments, and how they shaped the final form of this story. Check it out here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
As usual, it's open access! We're getting the data ready for sharing very soon ππ§ π§ͺ

We're on our way to UKSN! Our very own @emily-winson.bsky.social is speaking today in the physiology session, and will bring some fresh-out-of-the oven data! ππ§
πThe 1st Congenital Insensitivity to Pain conference is now 1 week away! Please join us (in-person/online) if you're interested in how painlessness is inherited, different phenotypic presentations and molecular mechanisms - the developmental PRDM12-TrkA-NGF axis and Nav channels among them.
This was so much fun today! So grateful for the opportunity to talk about my work, & to get to return to my beloved PDN!!
As promised, and committing to the core open science values of our lab, here's the updated preprint. More data, more supplementary figures, stronger conclusions.

On the way back to London after 2 amazing days sharing science in the CDN department retreat - and look what I got!
And, of course, congrats to the other awardees! The science in this department is top notch, and it shows! π§
Adult-born dopaminergic neurons in the mouse olfactory bulb are almost functionally mature at 5 weeks of cellular age. More immature adult-born dopaminergic cells do not have elevated functional ...
We have *another* preprint! This work was led by the amazing Candida Tufo, ex-PhD student in the lab.
We show that adult-born dopaminergic cells in the olfactory bulb rapidly functionally resemble their pre-existing counterparts!
