Thrilled to share our new study just out in PNAS! 🧠 We found that enhancing KCC2 function prevents seizures in epilepsy. Huge thanks to the patients & clinical partners for this translational work. 👏🏼 Congrats to lead author Florian Donneger for this long term endeavor www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10....

🚨 New preprint from the lab! 🧠 Despite representing <5% of total #KCC2 in mature neurons, we show that the KCC2a isoform acts as a powerful developmental switch: inhibiting KCC2b early on, then boosting its membrane expression and fonction in the adult brain. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A new study uncovers how paper mills and brokers collaborate to drive large-scale scientific fraud. Fraudulent publications are rising far faster than legitimate ones. In @science.org: www.npr.org/2025/07/24/n... In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Illustration of a “paper mill” operation. On the left, people in lab coats and suits, some with money in hand, feed data into a large machine. On the right, a shadowy figure collects freshly printed fake scientific papers emerging from the machine.
