A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

About

Glenda Comai is a CNRS permanent researcher at the Stem Cells and Development Unit. Her current research bridges the developmental biology and stem cells fields with focus on craniofacial muscles. Using 3D-imaging, mouse genetics and single cell/single nuclear omics she seeks to understand how heterogeneity at the level of stem cells and myofibres is established  and how this impacts on muscular genetic disorders. She has a long term interest in the mechanisms underlying tissue patterning during development.

AFM-Trampolin: Cellular and genetic basis for robustness of cranial myogenic populations (ENCRYPT)

Glenda Comai (PI)

Gene regulatory networks that act upstream of skeletal muscle fate determinants are distinct in different anatomical locations. Despite recent efforts, a clear understanding of the cascade of events underlying the emergence and maintenance of […]

ANR-JCJC: Mechanisms defining functional heterogeneity of anatomically distinct myogenic populations (MUSE)

Glenda Comai (PI)

The project at a glance: An unexpected finding was the discovery that muscle stem cells in different anatomical locations are programmed with distinct upstream regulators prior to acquiring myogenic identity. This intriguing observation is […]
