Hi ! I'd like to be included please!

Congrats !!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A central role for Numb/Nbl in multiple Shh-mediated axon repulsion processes Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is an axon guidance molecule that can act as either a chemorepellent or a chemoattractant, depending on the neuron type and their developmental stage. In the developing spinal cor...

Our first original paper has been accepted in iScience! We provide new insights into the molecular machinery of axon guidance in two distinct developmental systems: the neural tube and the visual system.

Netrin1 patterns the dorsal spinal cord through modulation of Bmp signaling We have identified an unexpected role for netrin1, a canonical axonal guidance cue, as a suppressor of bone morphogenetic protein (Bmp) signaling in t…

A summary thread of our Cell Reports paper published last week. In brief, we found a novel activity for netrin1 in the developing spinal cord: it acts as a boundary, to limit Bmp signaling to the dorsal most spinal cord. 1/9 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hey ! May I join please? 🙏

I hear you! Finishing a paper 1/ after the first author has left the lab 2/ after I have moved to another country, and 3/ I don't have access to the mouse lines anymore = my current total despair 😅

Yes please !🙋🏼‍♂️ 😄

Bravo Michel, Mike et al!!! 💪🏻
