PhD in diving physiology and chronobiology 🦭🌊
Interested in neuro-astrocytes interactions, hypoxia and mitochondria 🧠
The second paper from my PhD thesis is out in Frontiers in Neuroanatomy!🤩🤩

I can finally stop having nightmares on primary cell cultures 😅 🧫

Frontiers | Potential for flexible lactate shuttling between astrocytes and neurons to mitigate against diving-induced hypoxia
For most non-diving mammals, lack of O2 (hypoxia) has detrimental effects on brain function. Seals, however, display a series of systemic, cellular, and mole...
