Very very nice congratulations!!

Scientists discover potential new treatment to tackle cancer The research focused on the genetic faults that allow the disease to hijack a signalling system in the body.

A new way to tackle liver and bowel cancers has been discovered @cruk-si.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

looking forward to seeing you soon!!

Fantastic! Congratulations Dafni and the whole team!!!

Congratulations Alex, Owen and the whole team. Looking forward to having you Alex as a new faculty and colleague at the SCS.

The new paper from SPECIFICANCER, published in
@natureportfolio.nature.com reveals that it’s not just the mutation that matters — it’s where in the liver that mutation appears.

Congratulations to the team (co-funded by

Daily ultrastructural remodeling of clock neurons A cluster of Drosophila clock neurons remodel their axonal arbors daily. Using volumetric electron microscopy at different times of day, Ispizua, Rodriguez-Caron, and colleagues reveal ultrastructural...

SO HAPPY to share our new paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social! Using volumetric EM, we found daily shifts in synapses, vesicles, and mitochondria that accompany neuronal remodeling, linking structural plasticity to changes in how s-LNv neurons influence their targets
