So happy I have been able to witness the incredible growth and success of (now Dr.) Sozerko Yiandiev, who defended his PhD thesis with brio in Lyon this week! It was a true pleasure to co-mentor Sozerko with @jcourchet.bsky.social during the past 5 years 🍻👨🎓 #Thesis #BrainMetabolism
Save the date! 🗓 Our next Thematic Meeting will be held on 26-27 May 2026 in the beautiful city of Toulouse 🤩 Discover the program: neurosciences.asso.fr/JT2026/ @laureverret.bsky.social @cbitoulouse.bsky.social
I have the pleasure to share our latest work, now published in #LabAnimal This work will be of much interest for colleagues interested in #neurosciences and more broadly in improving your practice in animal experimentation, ethics and the #3R principle www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Comparative study of pre- and post-mortem perfusion of fixative for the quality of neuronal tissue preparation - Lab Animal
This study assesses various methods and timings for perfusion of fixatives to enhance brain histology, addressing ethical dilemmas associated with ante-mortem transcardiac perfusion and the lack of da...

I am happy to share our latest work now posted on @biorxiv-neursci.bsky.social We report that the #AMPK related kinase #NUAK1 teams up with splicing co-factor SON to regulate #RNAsplicing in developing cortical neurons, supporting axon growth and branching www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
The AMPK-related kinase NUAK1 regulates neuronal morphogenesis through the RNA splicing co-factor SON
In recent years, alternative splicing emerged as a major mechanism controlling gene-regulatory networks during brain development, yet how alternative splicing is tuned to the dynamic alterations under...

Happy to share this review by Nada Borghol and Sozerko Yandiev, now online in Bioessays We explore the roles of mitochondrial microproteins in the nervous system Hope you'll enjoy reading it onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Mitochondrial Microproteins: Emerging Regulators in Neurodevelopment and Neurodegeneration
Mitochondrial microproteins have emerged as critical regulators of mitochondrial function. Neurons are highly dependent on mitochondria to sustain their function. Mitochondrial microproteins can be d...

Join us in Engelberg for an exciting #EMBO workshop on #mitochondria in the nervous system #EMBOmitoNervousSys. Great speaker line up and opportunities for short talks from early career scientists! Submit your abstract until May 30st! meetings.embo.org/event/25-mit...
Following the keynote, we will continue on September 29 with a session on the role of mitochondria in neurodevelopment— these great speakers will highlight how mitochondrial function contributes to early brain development and organization. #EMBO2025 #Mitochondria #Brain
Real nice to attend #NeuroFrance2025 with 3 excellent lab members (L to R) Géraldine Meyer-Dilhet, Marion Carpentier and Sozerko Yandiev Very proud of Géraldine for her oral communication at #ClubDRN And congrats to the 3 of them for their poster presentation & overall enthusiasm for neurosciences
🎉 Countdown is on! Leading up to the EMBO Workshop "Mitochondria in the Nervous System" in Engelberg (Switzerland), we’ll be spotlighting some of the exciting talks, themes, and speakers you won’t want to miss 🔍🧠⚡ We’ll kick things off on September 28 with Erika Holzbaur as our keynote speaker.
Check out this new #EMBO workshop on #mitochondria in the nervous system Registration before May 30th
I'm thrilled to be co-organizing the very first EMBO Workshop bridging mitochondria and brain research - a powerhouse of science, ideas, and amazing speakers! 🧠🔬 📅 registration closes MAY 30th, so don’t wait to snag your spot! Stay tuned - more updates about the topics and speakers coming soon! 🎙️
If you are in #Montpellier for #Neurofrance2025 @socneuro.bsky.social, don't miss out on our team's presentations. Three poster presentations by Géraldine Dilhet, Marion Carpentier and Sozerko Yandiev, & Géraldine will give a short talk at today's #ClubDRN See you there!

I started my carrer 20+ years ago protesting budget cuts by the French government
In her Essay, Renata Basto highlights the huge budget cuts facing the scientific community in France. In response to the cuts, a group of researchers has formed the ‘Pour une Recherche d'Avenir’ initiative to secure the future of French research. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...
Reminder that @europepmc.org is a mirror of Pubmed with better search and that it indexes *all* bioRxiv preprints (as well as ResearchSquare), not just the ones funded by NIH like chauvinist Pubmed
I’m very scared to see what happens to PubMed
From Tommy Lewis's lab, an unexpected take on the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics in dendrites by Fis1 with implication for neuronal development and function www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Fis1 is required for the development of the dendritic mitochondrial network in pyramidal cortical neurons
Mitochondrial ATP production and calcium buffering are critical for metabolic regulation and neurotransmission making the formation and maintenance of the mitochondrial network a critical component of...
