Developmental neurobiologist, interested in astrocytes. Based @neurogeneva http://bocchilab.ch
🚨 First paper from the Bocchi lab out now in @natcomms.nature.com!
We show that astrocytes in the cortex arise from not one, but two distinct progenitor lineages, each giving rise to specialized subtypes with distinct roles.

Dual lineage origins contribute to neocortical astrocyte diversity - Nature Communications
Astrocytes display diverse molecular and functional features in the brain, but the developmental origins of this heterogeneity are not well understood. Here, the authors show that two separate progeni...

Thrilled to co-chair Symposium S08: Developmental Origins of Astrocyte Diversity tomorrow at #GLIA2025! Join us for cutting-edge insights into how astrocytes are born , diversify, and shape brain function. Wed, July 9 | 🕙 10:00–12:00 With @loulierk.bsky.social , Maryam Faiz & @sloanlab.bsky.social

✨ Astrocyte diversity starts at the source!
🧬 We uncover how dual radial glia lineages generate distinct astrocyte subtypes in the neocortex — revealed by MERFISH, scRNA-seq & clonal tracing.
