Is CACHD1 a contributor to human brain and craniofacial development? Biallelic LOF variants in CACHD1 cause a #neurodevelopmental disorder with dysmorphism & congenital anomalies bit.ly/3w4b8os @mfwellslab

Awesome to see two Zebrafish Rock! papers out from my old colleagues @uclcdb this week (@SuppAnya, The Rihel lab, Stephen Wilson etc):

⚪️ Sleep pressure and synapses (doi.org/10.1038/s41586…)

⚪️ Neuronal asymmetry (doi.org/10.1126/scienc…)

Enough about sleep— check out zebrafish brain asymmetry in Science from our UCL zebrafish floor mates! The Nature -Science double makes for a pretty good week for our science collective! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

New insights into Wnt signalling and the development of brain asymmetry from collaborative project UCL Biosciences, The Crick, Nuffield Department of Medicine and Wellcome Sanger Institute.  ucl.ac.uk/biosciences/ne… Stephen Wilson

A thing we did finally came out nature! 100% the result of the extraordinary vision and hard work of PhD student Anya Suppermpool, who slogged through years of thankless technique building before making some important sleep discoveries.
