A postnatal molecular switch drives activity-dependent maturation of parvalbumin interneurons Neuronal activity triggers PGC-1Ξ±-mediated transcriptional programs that drive the late maturation of PV+ interneurons, essential for cortical circuit function. PGC-1Ξ± partners with ERRΞ³ and Mef2c to ...

Huge thanks to Ludovic Telley, who introduced me to the magic of single-cell transcriptomics during my time @unil.bsky.social The work continued @NICO, UniTo under the mentorship of Annalisa Buffo, with the brilliant Giacomo Turrini and the support of amazing collaborators. Grateful to all! πŸ™

We reveal new astrocyte subtypes with distinct functions and show they arise from multiple germinative niches - not just the β€œclassic” one!
These origins leave transcriptional traces that, combined with extrinsic cues, shape astrocytes’ final identity.

Just a moment... Verifying you are human. This may take a few seconds.

πŸ”¬ New preprint out!

Thrilled to share our new preprint, where we uncover the molecular diversity and developmental origins of cerebellar astrocytes using multi-omic approaches.

On my way back from the @gliameeting.bsky.social in beautiful Marseille 🀩
Amazing days of inspiring science and stunning views!
Grateful for the chance to present my data and connect with glia-lover colleagues!!

Asked #ChatGPT to create a conceptual representation of my life based on our past conversations. This is the result! πŸ₯² Pretty cool, but I wish I'd been placed at least halfway down that long path! 🫣

Great success today for the first #italianglianetwork symposium! More than 100 participants, great selected talks, an amazing plenary session by Valentina Fossati and stimulating discussion. So happy and proud to be part of this growing community of Italian #glialovers! πŸ™Œ
