Very happy to share our new review 🎉Fantastic work led by @Alan_Zhou_95 👏 Astrocyte heterogeneity is a key feature of brain development🧠, we discuss where it comes from, what it means functionally, and its potential implications for brain disorders. 🔗https://t.co/kjloEOwIUc

🚨 First paper from the Bocchi lab out now in @NatureComms!
We show that astrocytes in the cortex arise from not one, but two distinct progenitor lineages, each giving rise to specialized subtypes with distinct roles.
Here the story📖 https://t.co/DHo9tzreWo

🚨 Thrilled to co-chair Symposium S08: Developmental Origins of Astrocyte Diversity tomorrow at #GLIA2025!
Join us for cutting-edge insights into how astrocytes are born 🧠, diversify, and shape brain function.🗓️ Wed, July 9 | 🕙 10:00–12:00 With @LoulierK, @Faiz_Lab & @Sloan_Lab

[Riccardo Bocchi @Bocchi_Ric]

✨ Astrocyte diversity starts at the source!
🧬 We uncover how dual radial glia lineages generate distinct astrocyte subtypes in the neocortex — revealed by MERFISH, scRNA-seq & clonal tracing.
📍#GLIA2025 | Poster T10-010A
🧠 w/ @Alan_Zhou_95 in Marseille
Come talk glia with us!

📣 Excited to share the first preprint of the lab led by @Alan_zhou_95 🙌 showing that cortical astrocyte heterogeneity originates from two distinct progenitors, with different capacities and coexisting since the beginning of the corticogenesis.
