#labfirsts: First research article from our lab @jncasr by my first PhD student @VishalLolam out in @SpringerNature Brain Structure & Function journal #OpenAccess
Comprehensive mapping of Neurofibromin (NF1) expression in developing mouse brain
link.springer.com/article/10…
ALT In this study, we present a comprehensive expression atlas of Neurofibromin (NF1), a critical negative regulator of RAS-RAF-ERK pathway, in developing mouse brain. Here we characterized the spatial distribution of NF1 expression in distinct neural lineages from early embryonic stages through postnatal maturation. We further integrated these findings with reanalysis of single-nuclei RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) datasets from adult mouse brain to achieve higher resolution. Our results reveal a previously undocumented graded expression pattern of NF1 across various brain regions and cell lineages. This comprehensive study will not only help us understand the fundamental role of NF1 in brain development but will also be pivotal in providing a framework for studying NF1-associated brain disorders.

The approaches used to understand fundamental folding problems were remarkable, at least to outsiders like us! We thought we were being quantitative… but puny compared to biophysicists!
@AmnonHorovitz is speaking to us at #EMBOCCMB25 about his work on thermodynamics of protein folding in encapsulated structures within the cell, highlighting the key deterministic factors resposible for selection of specific substrate proteins. @EMBO @ccmb_csir
This was truly a majestic talk! Apparently, also out in Nature this week.
We have Dr. Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz online, illustrating three significant advancements in imaging technolgy, capable of revealing cellular organisation with atomic level resolution! Insights flowing at #EMBOCCMB25 @EMBO @ccmb_csir

Ever wondered how injuries in tissues such as skeletal muscles are healed? Did you know that dormant stem cells in adults help repair and regenerate these damaged tissues?
The Indian Society of Cell Biology, in association with Cactus, invites you to a free webinar on “Quiescent muscle cells are active communicators” led by Prof. Jyotsna Dhawan. Join us as we explore how signals from damaged cells activate the quiescent stem cells and discover how this communication effects the maintenance of tissues.
Book your seat now: airmeet.com/e/49c74a60-7811-…
💸 Registration: FREE for all participants
Topic: Quiescent muscle cells are active communicators
Speaker: Dr Jyotsna Dhawan, CCMB Hyderabad
Moderator: Dr Debdeep Dutta, IIT Kanpur
Date: November 15, 2025
Time: 5:30 PM IST
Language: English
Duration: 1 hour
What You Will Learn:
✅The importance of communication between cells to build and maintain skeletal tissues.
✅How complex signals are released in the form of tiny extracellular vesicles called exosomes.
✅How differentiated cells choose from the large number of exosomes released by dormant cells.
✅What our understanding of these quiescent muscle cells means for tissue maintenance.
Dr. Jyotsna Dhawan | Center for Cellular and Molecular Biology
Dr. Jyotsna Dhawan is an Emeritus Scientist at the Center for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Hyderabad, where she has been a key researcher since 1996. Her work focuses on the cell biology of quiescence and skeletal muscle regeneration. She earned her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Cell Biology from Boston University School of Medicine and completed her postdoctoral research at Stanford University. With a distinguished career in molecular and cellular biology, she continues to contribute to advancing understanding of muscle stem cell biology.
REGISTER TODAY! We look forward to welcoming you to this enriching session!
