Sharing our newest study led by the incredibly talented @federicamosti.bsky.social investigating new molecular mechanisms of human brain development. We discover a human-specific enhancer HAR1984 that influences chromatin looping to promote cortical size and folding! www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

It was an honor to be part of such an amazing Cajal course on synapse biology, amazing lineup of speakers and projects, and to connect with Europe! A big thank to the organizers Cecile Charrier and Julien Dupuis and to all the instructors!

.. and what an honour to be jointly published with two other papers from the @kaessmannlab.bsky.social and the Fernando García-Moreno lab - all of this summarized in a great perspective by Maria Tosches and @giacomogattoni.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
