Recherche publique : quand l’État se désengage, la philanthropie doit faire plus, mais pas trop Le problème de la recherche publique française n’est pas seulement de manquer de financement public et de philanthropie scientifique. C’est de n’avoir construit, ni pour l’un ni pour l’autre, le cadre...

It is super interesting to see how some senior people have not commented at all on the new ERC rules. Makes you wonder

« world leadership goes through investing in research and science »… France is clearly shooting itself in the foot (again) by announcing new major budget cuts with immediate effects on all @cnrs.fr institutes! 😩

If cell diversity and developmental biology are your thing, my talk will extremely be your jam. Come for the whole-mount spatial transcriptomics and 14Tb light-sheet videos, stay for the humble RNA in situs. Everyone loves in situs 🧪🐟🧅

Genetic sex of enteric neurons enables ovarian relaxin to gate maternal gut plasticity Animals must align intestinal plasticity and feeding with reproductive state, yet the checkpoint that gates these adaptations is unknown. Here we show that an ovary-to-enteric-neuron axis gates the on...

📣First preprint of the lab📣 Did that really happen?😅

Enteric neurons, aka somatic postmitotic cells, must hold on to their sex identity tight, to deliver a tuned response to signals from the ovary that instruct the animal to engage sex-matched behavioural programmes.

Congrats Dafni! Big big step I can only imagine :-). I really like the distinction between "competence", "priming", and "triggering", and the way you state it in the abstract is brillant! This ovary-gutNeuron axis makes me wonder whether they are other ovary-XYZneuron communication in the periphery.

I am very happy (and a bit scared) to present to you what we have been working on over the last 4 years. This manuscript is exactly what I dreamt of when I started the lab and I could not be happier and prouder of the outcome!
