Very excited to share my second postdoc, now out in Science Advances! We used targeted snRNA-seq to profile four major subnuclei of the primate across three species (including humans). 1/13 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Final version @science.org "Recent evolution of the developing human intestine affects metabolic and barrier functions". Evolutionary preparation for microbiota, diet, and pathogen exposure is fascinating! Thank you @erc.europa.eu for supporting our vision! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Cross-species analysis of adult hippocampal neurogenesis reveals human-specific gene expression but convergent biological processes @zhoujoeyyi.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to share our study published in @natneuro.nature.com today! We conducted cross-species analyses of immature neurons arising from adult hippocampal neurogenesis, revealing distinct human-specific gene expression patterns but convergent biological processes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great work in @nature.com by @qianxuyu.bsky.social from Dr. Chris Walsh lab revealing early specification of the human cortex using spatial omics. Congratulations Xuyu!🎊🎉

A new study in preprint from @amarsahay.bsky.social lab shows that prolonged maturation of adult-born hippocampal neurons affects hippocampal network by strengthening inhibitory brain circuitry. doi.org/10.21203/rs....

New preprint out from the lab, check out thread below!

Thank you, Dr. Boeckx, for highlighting our work ! It’s exciting to see the convergence of our findings, which suggest that lysosome function in neuronal development evolves across species in a spatiotemporal- and cell type-dependent manner, with human lysosomes playing unique roles.

Check out our latest preprint, where we cross-compared the molecular landscapes of immature neurons in the hippocampus in different mammalian species👨🐵🐷🐭, revealing specialized features in humans. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
