Lamentamos profundamente el fallecimiento del académico José Manuel García Verdugo, catedrático de la Universitat de Valencia. Referente internacional en Neurocencia y Microscopía Electrónica.
Su última charla en la #raciencias puedes recuperarla aquí: www.youtube.com/live/g7nPBVo...

Really happy to see our work on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) microglia published in @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/.... A great work at IBiS from Manuel Sanchez-Garcia, Nieves Lara-Ureña, Rosana March-Diaz, @alicielena.bsky.social , and all our collaborators.

A graphic for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), showing a historical portrait of Marie Skłodowska-Curie overlaid with an image of four young researchers walking down a hallway. The European Commission logo is in the top left. Text reads: "Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions – €404.3 million to support postdoctoral researchers”
Choose Science. Choose Europe.
A new Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships 2025 call is now open.
With a budget of €404.3 million, it will support around 1,650 researchers from Europe and beyond.
Apply by 10 September → europa.eu/!fBTMgF
Amazing differences within the EU.

Hot off the press:
The excellent Maheva Andriatsilavo and colleagues show how a temporal sequence of stochastic molecular mechanisms allow the emergence of stereotyped individualised neuronal circuits. Just published in Nature Neuroscience:

Maps are everywhere in the brain...and finally we've discovered one in the nose! Led by @davidhbrann.bsky.social, we uncovered the logic that specifies the positions of each of the 1,000 sensory neuron subtypes in the nose and aligns their projections to the brain.👇👃see more details below👃👇

Why does the forebrain expand dramatically while other neural regions grow less? Our new publication reveals progenitor metabolism critically shapes region-specific brain growth. Thread below. authors.elsevier.com/a/1k-udL7PXu...

Four images to illustrate some prominent single-gene myths. Top left shows a photograph of a person deftly rolling their tongue into a U-shape. Top right shows a photograph of a person’s ear, highlighting the shape and features of the earlobe and cartilage. Bottom left shows a close-up photograph of a person’s eye, with a vivid blue colouration. Bottom right shows a photograph of a person poised to write with their left hand on the blank white page of a spiral-bound notebook.
Remember when you first learned about genetics at school? All those fascinating examples of human traits that are each apparently determined by just a single gene? Time to check in on some of your favourites to see how they’re doing. 🧬🧵🧪 1/n

If you’re curious how your genome helps make you unique, don’t expect neat & tidy answers. Indeed, the richness of this tapestry is one of the reasons why human genetics is such a dynamic & exciting field of science. 11/n 🧬🧪

Two scutoids... a gran one and a yellow one.
Graphical abstract of the paper. We infer Forces from geometry to find that scutoids are necessary to form epithelial tubes.
So... Can be animals without #scutoids?
This a difficult question to answer, you cannot get mutants without scutoids.
So we designed a computational model to demonstrated that it is not possible to form epithelial tubes without apico-basal intercalations.

Drosophila follicle showing retrotransposons (pink & yellow) expressed in somatic cells infecting the oocyte
1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬
But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯
Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells.

Interesting: following hemispherotomy – this is typically performed for severe intractable epilepsies, where one hemisphere is fully disconnected but left in place – there remains "islands of awareness" although most activity is sleep-like.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.
