2025
Jan 2025 We are celebrating the new year with 2 preprints with tri-atlantic collaboration - 1) the next generation of the hypothalamus development atlas, identifying gene regulatory networks controlling neuronal differentiation and specification (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.10.632449v1) and 2) the updated hypothalamus organisation, challenging the previous models (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.01.10.632351v1). There is another work on the pipeline, that is currently spearheaded by our lab.
