Our first organoid study is in @EMBO reports! Controlling fluid dynamics produces organoids with uniform morphology and preserved transcriptional identity across batches and cell lines. Thanks to @G_Aiello91, Mohamed Nemir, @BarboraVidimova & @CelVivo3D! embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

Check out our new work on organoids! Reducing fluid flow shear stress during neural induction, we obtained consistent morphology, cellular composition and metabolic profiles across batches and different cell lines. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @unil @DNF_neuro @BOrganoid

Today is International Fragile X Awareness Day, an opportunity to shed light on a genetic condition that significantly impacts individuals and families across the globe.
Let's continue to spread knowledge, raise awareness, and work all towards a brighter future together.

We explored the impact of CYFIP1 gene variants on NDDs using flies and fibroblasts. Our research revealed disruptions in the wave regulatory complex, impacting processes such as actin polymerization and brain morphology. Published in @BiologicalPsyc1 🪰 shorturl.at/pyAJ2

3. Furthermore, we showed that the over-activity of SREBP and one of its targets, the Malic enzyme, cause sleep deficits in Cyfip mutant flies via dysregulation of the brain NADP+/NADPH ratio.

Finally, we demonstrated that modulation of SREBP or the Malic enzyme was sufficient to ameliorate sleep deficits in Cyfip heterozygous flies. The work suggests modulation of the SREBP metabolic axis as a new avenue worth exploring for its therapeutic potential in sleep disorders
