Neuronal circuits are constantly refined and remodeled in response to activity. Activity-induced plasticity is responsible for the brain’s ability to adjust to changing conditions, as in the sculpting of circuits during development, adaptation after […]
“The intricate world of Inter-organ communication” Organ-to-organ communications are critical to living systems and play major roles in homeostasis. Drosophila is a prime system for systematically identifying mechanisms involved in organ communication because libraries of transgenic RNAi lines are […]

“Brain, Barriers, and Behavior in Drosophila” Abstract: Glial cells are an essential component required for the functionality of all complex nervous systems. In lower vertebrates and invertebrates, glial cells establish the blood-brain barrier and […]
“Temporal construction and deconstruction of neuronal identities in development and disease: a human pluripotent stem cell perspective” Targeted differentiations of pluripotent stem cells open new avenues to study the development, evolution and disease of […]
“Mechanisms of regeneration of the damaged liver” Following injury the normal liver regenerates through hepatocyte proliferation. Following severe or prolonged liver injury hepatocyte or cholangiocyte regeneration can be impaired and senescence can occur. In […]
Abstract: Epithelia are planar tissues, separating the internal environment from the external environment in many organs. I will present two recent studies that examine the behaviour of cells within monolayers. A major epithelial function […]

“Type II immunity in tissue repair, regeneration and fibrosis”
MCEB 2018 Web site Each year, we co-organize the “Mathematical and Computational Evolutionary Biology conference”, with colleagues from Montpellier. The huge amount of molecular data available nowadays can help addressing new and essential questions […]
“PRC2: versatile transcriptional regulators during pre-implantation development of the mouse” In mammals, fusion of two highly differentiated gametes gives rise to a totipotent zygote capable of developing into a whole organism. The switch in […]
