[Maria Schörnig @MSchornig]

On Friday I successfully defended my PhD thesis! @MPI_EVA_Leipzig Thank you so much to everyone who made this possible, especially @TavernaElena

[Maria Schörnig @MSchornig]

Thanks for having me! I am enjoying the conference a lot! @humantechnopole @TavernaElena #neurogen25

Ancient DNA retrieved from a finger bone in 2010 led to the identification of the #Denisovans. Check out our review @NatureRevGenet of what we learnt over the past decade about this now extinct human group: https://t.co/7BtjeUAkrg

New method increases efficiency, precision and reliability of DNA editing. It was developed by a team led by Stephan Riesenberg @MPI_EVA_Leipzig and is likely to have many applications in basic research. @naturemethods See: https://t.co/MNOv8MYtKw & https://t.co/nuTMDbvMej

Our latest paper is out now @emboreports

We show that in the developing brain the #epigenetic landscape affects symmetry of division and cell identity by regulating #metabolism

The November issue is online:

The cover features work by Michael Heide @DPZ_eu and @mpicbg and co-workers showing that ARHGAP11B is sufficient to ensure the basal progenitor levels that characterize the fetal human neocortex.

We neanderthalized the kinetochore!
So happy to finally share our paper comparing modern human and ancestralized mitosis

With the Huttner & Pääbo labs & great collaborators @mpicbg @MPI_EVA_Leipzig @tudresden_de

Taking your time makes a difference – Brain development differs between Neanderthals and modern humans: latest study by the lab of Wieland Huttner @mpicbg, first author @FeMoraBermudez, and @SvantePaabo @MPI_EVA_Leipzig in @ScienceAdvances. https://t.co/2LjNkRNb3O

Combining high-throughput #robotics with developmental #neuroscience, single cell multi-omics and cell biology, the @TavernaElena Group of our #Neurogenomics Centre uncovers the cellular and molecular logic behind human brain development and synaptogenesis

Pyramidal neurons with axons that exit from dendrites rather than the cell body itself are relatively common in non-primates, but rare in monkeys and humans. https://t.co/u7urUXdmgF

[Gabriele Ciceri @gabriele_ciceri]

Why human neurons mature so slow?
Is it possible to accelerate their maturation?
Excited to share our work as a preprint. We tackled this question using human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC). Thanks to everybody involved in this work @studerl 1/8
