Edmundo Gonzalez’s forced exile ends one chapter, but begins another. This ain’t over.

The Maduro cartel has stolen another election in Venezuela. We discuss different courses of action to remove the illegitimate socialist scourge from power.

Finally out! In this work we show that adult-born neurons rely on cell-intrinsic activity more than on environmental sensory stimuli for their morphogenesis and right positioning within the olfactory bulb. Interested, please, check here 👉rdcu.be/c7TGV

It is finally out! Look at this exciting work about how glioblastoma cells communicate to promote tumor proliferation and what may entail specific target therapies that abolish this communication. Proud to be part of it!
