In preprints – is birth driving cortical maturation? @mveronicapravata.bsky.social discusses a preprint by @sroig.bsky.social & co, which raises the possibility that cortical developmental programs may be broadly conserved across species, rather than strictly dependent on the timing of birth.

In preprints – is birth driving cortical maturation?

This article discusses the preprinted work of Morassut et al. (2026 preprint). As a preprint, this work has not yet undergone peer review.

Fusion of E14 chicken parabronchi! Green staining with DSHB 7D6 for L-CAM/E-cadherin stains the lung epithelium. Magenta stains for smooth muscle actin that constricts the developing parabronchi. This was imaged on a confocal microscope and is an MIP. #ShowYourWork #SeenWithDSHB #Figure1

An image of the chicken parabronchi highlighting the interplay between smooth muscle and the epithelium during embryonic lung development. The muscle constricts the epithelium, causing it to outpocket. These outpockets will form the future gas exchange regions in the adult chicken. Green stains for DSHB 7D6 for L-CAM/E-cadherin to stain the lung epithelium. Magenta stains for smooth muscle actin that constricts the developing parabronchi.
