- 🧠 New in #ScienceSignaling A collaborative study involving @npanayotis.bsky.social show that Importin β1, best known for nuclear transport or peripheral nerve growth is essential for presynaptic plasticity, local translation, and memory formation in the hippocampus. 🧵 Read the thread by Nicolas 👇
- Very happy to share our new paper in #ScienceSignaling revealing that importin β1 isn’t just important for nuclear transport or neuronal growth. We now show it is key for presynaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, local translation, and memory! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- You can also find here two summaries (IN FRENCH) by @upcite.bsky.social u-paris.fr/le-transport... and @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social www.insb.cnrs.fr/fr/cnrsinfo/...

- Exciting news for SPPIN! Our director Martin OHEIM and his team "Biophysics of the brain" has been awarded the 2025 "Fondation Claude Pompidou" Prize in recognition of their recent works on enteric neurons and glia. fondationclaudepompidou.org/site/
- By combining fast 2p fluorescence & second harmonic imaging with tissue clearing, they revealed fine structure of enteric neurons & glia in both mouse models and human biopsies, paving the way for methods of earlier detection of neurodegenerative diseases via colonoscopies.
