I am happy to share our latest work now posted on @biorxiv-neursci.bsky.social
We report that the #AMPK related kinase #NUAK1 teams up with splicing co-factor SON to regulate #RNAsplicing in developing cortical neurons, supporting axon growth and branching

The AMPK-related kinase NUAK1 regulates neuronal morphogenesis through the RNA splicing co-factor SON
In recent years, alternative splicing emerged as a major mechanism controlling gene-regulatory networks during brain development, yet how alternative splicing is tuned to the dynamic alterations under...

I started my carrer 20+ years ago protesting budget cuts by the French government
In her Essay, Renata Basto highlights the huge budget cuts facing the scientific community in France. In response to the cuts, a group of researchers has formed the ‘Pour une Recherche d'Avenir’ initiative to secure the future of French research.

The importance of delivering Recherche d'Avenir – research for the future
In recent years, several European countries, including France, have reduced their investment in scientific research, with biomedical research taking a significant hit. The primary casualty is basic re...

Reminder that @europepmc.org is a mirror of Pubmed with better search and that it indexes *all* bioRxiv preprints (as well as ResearchSquare), not just the ones funded by NIH like chauvinist Pubmed
I’m very scared to see what happens to PubMed

Mitochondrial ATP production and calcium buffering are critical for metabolic regulation and neurotransmission making the formation and maintenance of the mitochondrial network a critical component of...
