Hi #neuromastodon, today the latest preprint of an extremely cool, 100% Uruguay-based team has been released :mate:

A filopodia-based dendritic mechanosensory compartment in CSF-contacting neurons

There we show that, contrary to what zebrafish has taught, these spinal cord neurons from adult mice (CSF-cN) lack cilia. Furthermore, they show multiple filopodia and are able to sense mechanical stimuli through PKD2L1. That, and other nice stuff.

If you didn't know what to read this weekend, here you have it:

Hope you enjoy it.

Otro pequeño orgullo de nuestro laboratorio del #iibce ya está en @biorxiv_neursci .
Un importante volumen de trabajo sobre las conexinas en la reparación de la médula espinal.
Gran equipo #MadeInUruguay lo hizo posible, gracias a financiación extranjera de #WingsForLife.

Ayer, la ahora MSc. Florencia Reichmann defendió su tesis de maestría sobre el impacto ambiental de la contaminación lumínica en ecosistemas de latinoamerica. Es la primera tesis de su tipo en nuestro país. Muy importante. Supongo que su tesis estará pronto disponible en Colibri. Espero poder trabajar con ella en estos temas pronto en el CURE. Si alguna vez tienen la oportunidad de ver una charla de ella, no se la pierdan porque es una excelente oradora, la rompe #uruguay #astronomia #contaminacion #luminica #americalatina #investigación #ciencia #biologia #gestionambiental #maestria #pedeciba

Hacer un doctorado en ciencias tiene un poco de apostolado.

Hoy, como #orientadororgulloso me doy el gusto de compartir el #preprint del segundo artículo del doctorado de Cristina Parada. :tootmap:

Poco se sabe del gen Ptr, aunque perderlo es, casi seguro, una condena a muerte antes de nacer (afecta seriamente los músculos, y probablemente el desarrollo del sistema nervioso entre otras cosas).

Usando moscas de la fruta, un bichito conveniente y barato, Cristina y un gran equipo descubrieron que una mutación en Ptr altera la maduración y dinámica de las células del sistema inmunitario.
Cuánto pueda decirnos esto de alteraciones más profundas del sistema inmunitario está por verse, pero es sin duda un hallazgo importante.

Bueno...
:googlefire: :googlefire: :googlefire: acaba de salir publicado el primer artículo del doctorado PEDECIBA de Cristina Parada.
Un pequeño paso para esta científica, pero un gran paso para su posgrado!
