First paper from the lab Finally published! Thanks to all involved!
Excited to share our new paper in Nature Communications!
We mapped how extracellular matrix (matrisome) genes shape human cortical development and how their dysregulation is linked to neurodevelopmental disorders.

New preprint!
We present a new human iPSC-derived hippocampal organoid model that recapitulates key features of hippocampal development and neurogenesis.

Excited to share our study published in @NatureNeuro 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. nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

Wonderful presentation by David Berg from @aberdeenuni on how using
human tissue and 3D
organoid modelling helps understand better the neurogenic niche of the developing dentate gyrus and its relevance in neurodevelopmental disorders 👏 #AnatSocSummer25 #AnatSocOxford
