🆕 in human 🧠 research! The @bhadurilab.bsky.social at @uclastemcell.bsky.social generated a metabolomic atlas of human cortical development using both primary tissue and stem-cell derived #organoids. The work identified a new regulator of radial glia cell fate. 🧪

🌟Finally out!

🧬One year ago we linked RPH3A gene to a #neurodevelopmental disorder. Now, Barzasi and team showed some variants we previously described are causing dysfunction of pre- and post- glutamatergic synapse!

We need to stop this never-ending history of not accessible papers. Science needs to be shared, and we should find a solution. How can a paper from *1993* still not being accessible?!!

❓How does a cell become malignant?

🌟Several tightly regulated factors are needed to lead the cell toward a state of ‘oncogenic competence’.

🔖In this Opinion, we highlight the most updated findings about the mechanisms behind *oncogenic competence*.

2025 starts with two novel works in the field of neurodevelopmental disorders-linked genes!

▶️ RICTOR, a novel genes involved in NDDs pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39738822/
▶️ TAOKs, a family of protein causing NDDs pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39737487/

Thanks to all the collaborators 💪

Very happy @ellylewerissa.bsky.social & @naelnadifkasri-lab.bsky.social are presenting our collective effort (co-led by O. Leonardi from G. Testa’s lab) to capture the role of CHD2 dosage in neurodevelopment (for disease & evolution), using organoids + 2D neurons #cshl2024brain (Poster 111, today!)

Our last report is out today! 💥
Who works in the field of neurodevelopmental disorders knows how difficult may be to understand genomic data results, especially when the clinical presentation is different than the expected one.
