Fetoplacental Circadian Rhythms Develop and Then Synchronize to the Mother In Utero - K. L. Nikhil, Keenan Bates, Elizabeth Sapiro, Jacob L. Amme, Ron McCarthy, Sarah L. Speck, Varun Vasireddy, Ethan Roberts, Carmel A. Martin-Fairey, Miguel-E. Domínguez-Romero, Sandra P. Cárdenas-García, Sarah K. England, Erik D. Herzog, 2026 Circadian rhythms in gene expression and hormones are ubiquitous across species and differentiated cell types, yet their developmental origins remain poorly und...

Ever wonder if a baby knows what time it is? This work by @circatwenty4.bsky.social and collaborators says that the fetus synchronizes its daily rhythms to mom before birth. tinyurl.com/yk3m8fx3 #SRBRa #circadian #chronomedicine

Neuronal lipid droplets play a conserved and sex-biased role in maintaining whole-body energy homeostasis - Nature Metabolism In vivo regulation of neuronal lipid droplet formation mediates whole-body energy homeostasis in a sex-specific manner in Drosophila and mice.

Beyond delighted to share our amazing collaboration with Thierry Alquier's lab @alquierthierry.bsky.social on a conserved role for neuronal lipid droplets in regulating energy homeostasis in vivo led by Celena Cherian, Romane Manceau, Danie Majeur, and Colin Miller www.nature.com/articles/s42... /1

I think Neuro could use a PLoS Neuro journal. OA, publishing rigorous work across diverse systems using genetic/molecular to systems/computational/cognitive approaches.

Have lobbied for this as a @plosbiology.org Adv Board member but it hasn't happened so far. Thoughts?

Barber lab’s first preprint!

Drosophila insulin‑producing cells can be regulated by circadian clock neurons via PDF, suggesting that a core “clock” neuropeptide can influence the activity of non‑clock neurons through volume transmission.
