🧵New preprint alert! How do #plants cope with fundamentally different types of belowground attack? We challenged #Arabidopsis with three #nematode species — one migratory, two sedentary — and the answers surprised us. t.co/yYvOcB2sVU

New paper out! 🌱 Plant defence isn’t a free upgrade. We show phloem proteins can boost resistance to one attacker but increase susceptibility to another (incl. cyst nematodes). Great collaboration 🙌 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #plantsciencec#nematologygy

Thrilled to share our preprint on how CHD2 dosage controls the autolysosomal pathway ♻️, shaping the neurodevelopmental pace 🧠 that sets us 👩🏽‍🔬 apart from our extinct relatives and great apes🐒: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... See 🧵below:

Super excited to share this study.

New preprint 📣! Excited to share the result of several years of work, led by @ellylewerissa.bsky.social & @olivieroleonardi.bsky.social, in collaboration with friends @naelnadifkasri-lab.bsky.social & Giuseppe Testa. On CHD2, a chromatin remodeller, its role in evolution & development [🧵] 🧪🧠🧫🧬
