Beautiful study by Ikuo Suzuki lab on the impact of species-specific tempo of neurogenesis. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Interspecific diversity in the neuronal composition of the mammalian cortex arises from heterochrony in neurogenesis - The EMBO Journal

Mammals share a laminar cerebral cortex, with excitatory neuron subtypes organized in distinct layers. Although this framework is conserved, subtype balance varies markedly between species due to larg...

And that’s a wrap! After years of work and wait, I've successfully defended my PhD. Massive thanks to thesis supervisor Dr. Jonaki Sen, Dr. Amitabha Bandyopadhyay. Special thanks to Dr. Sachin Kotak and external examiner, Dr. Dhananjay Huilgol.This one's for everyone who walked this road with me.

Great @cp-cellstemcell.bsky.social work by @federicamosti.bsky.social & @debbysilver.bsky.social using human and chimpanzee organoids to uncover the role of an enhancer in regulating neurogenesis 🧪🧬🧠🧫 www.cell.com/cell-stem-ce...

Species-specific chromatin architecture and neurogenesis mediated by a human enhancer

How human-specific DNA changes shape brain development is poorly understood. Mosti et al. discover a human enhancer, HAR1984, which drives ETV5 and TRA2B expression via human-enriched chromatin intera...

Fantastic study depicting origin of astrocytes from dual progenitor lineages. Congratulations to the entire team.

New from the Bocchi Lab in Nature Communications: Cortical astrocytes arise from two distinct progenitor lineages with specialized roles. Glad my lab could support the lineage tracing part using TrackerSeq. Congratulations to @bocchiric.bsky.social and the whole team! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Off to Puerto Rico from India 🇮🇳 for the 20th International Congress of Developmental Biology! Catch me at poster #444 (C105). I’ll be sharing our work on cerebral cortex development. Excited to connect! 🧠🐁 #2025ICDB #2025SDB #DevBio @socdevbio.bsky.social

Feeling relieved. Overjoyed to have successfully presented my Ph.D. Open Seminar..! Eager to share this exciting chapter soon.
