Happy to see this one coming through. The first from my PhD studies 🤓 and hopefully more interesting data to share soon about early life #stress and brain #vascular function.

Environmental enrichment and physical exercise prevent stress-induced social avoidance and blood-brain barrier alterations via Fgf2 - Nature Communications Chronic stress disrupts the brain vasculature and contributes to mood disorders, but mechanisms of resilience remain unclear. Here, the authors show that enriched environments increase astrocytic Fgf2...

Out in its final form! Congratulations @sejpaton.bsky.social @jolusolo.bsky.social Alice Cadoret @adelinec.bsky.social @luisa-binder.bsky.social Béatrice Daigle @laura-mb.bsky.social Laurence Dion-Albert @katarzynaadudek.bsky.social @manonlebel5.bsky.social 🥂🧠🤓

L’exercice et un bon environnement renforceraient l’intégrité de la barrière protectrice du cerveau Une étude révèle comment l'activité physique et un milieu de vie favorable stimulent la production d'une protéine essentielle à la santé vasculaire, diminuant les effets néfastes du stress et prévenant la dépression

Happy to see this work published!

Super excited to share this new paper led by @sejpaton.bsky.social that I briefly mentioned at #ACNP2026 yesterday! 🧪🧠🤓

We tested preventive strategies to protect the brain vasculature #BBB during stress exposure, mix of mouse 🐭 and human data

So proud of my team 🤘
