The correct version of our paper in ScienceAdvances is now live on PubMed! (Yes, our entire Figure 3 had been mysteriously swapped… but it's all fixed now!) It is about the complex role of inflammation in Müller glia response to injury. science.org/doi/10.1126/... @neuropsi.bsky.social

📢A position of assistant professor (tenure) in developmental biology with a focus on IPSC/organoid technologies will soon be open to competition for a profile in neurodevelopment or development in my research team affiliated to Sorbonne University (good level in French and qualification required).

The lab is closed for the week, but nicely decorated! Happy holidays and see you in 2025!🎄🧑‍🎄☃️❄️

🎄✨ Last week we had two incredible days filled with inspiring talks, posters, and new connections. Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate our #ChristmasMeeting_IN. See you next year! 🧠💫 More details 👇 in.umh-csic.es/en/the-insti...
