A fantastic work on corpus callosum disease modeling by @catarinacsmc, @Knoblich_lab and collaborators is out on @CellStemCell! We are happy and feeling lucky to have our axon-bundle-chambers used thoughtfully and effectively in the study.

Fascinating corpus callosum organoid model! Maybe now is the time for me to revisit KIF26A loss-of-function, which we saw agenesis of CC in patient and mouse model, but we didn't have a way to model it in organoids,

Our paper on connected cerebral organoids is out on @NatureComms. We show that cerebral organoids have more complex activity when they are connected. The connected organoids show interesting adaptation to external stimulations more quickly when we repeat stimulations.

As a scientist and a woman, I am thankful for what today represents: πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬ The international day of women & girls in science. πŸ“ 17 years since the referendum that decriminalised abortion in Portugal. Every girl and woman in the world deserves to be educated and free. Onwards.

After 5+ years working on "#agenesis of the corpus callosum", I found out today that I've been translating "agenesis" wrongly to Portuguese (my native language) all along. 🫠 #π‘¨π’ˆπ’†π’π’†π’”π’Šπ’‚ is the correct word. 😳 Now I still have to find out how to pronounce it. 🫣 Ufffff...

πŸ­πŸ’“ Mouse embryo (~E9). Filmed when I was in the lab of Val Wilson, in 2017. I keep it as a treasure to this day. Witnessing embryos develop ex vivo is probably the most fascinated I've ever been in a lab. Neural tube closure, somitogenesis, embryo turning... wow πŸ₯Ή #devbio 🫢
