1/8 Breathing seems automatic. But it's a finely tuned motor behavior that has to be controlled. In this preprint, I map the circuits that match a fly's respiration to the metabolic demands of flight and mitigate the risk of dehydration. 🧵🪰 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

#Twisting embryos and multiple #attachment sites in #Drosophila - now both available as #preprints. Proud of @giuliaserafini.bsky.social & @cuencam15.bsky.social, who worked together & established theory collaborations with @lepuslapis.bsky.social & @carldmodes.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de at its best

Different lab, different continent, different species — same curiosity 🇯🇵 The extensive PDH-ir arborization pattern of a male Sieboldius albardae dragonfly 🐉🪰. The projections are color coded from anterior (blue) to posterior (yellow). Drosophila brain for scale. #FluorescenceFriday Detail images 👇

This epic paper, which has been a heroic 10 year journey for the lead author, Ricardo Barrientos, is finally out in Cell today! Many thanks to all co-authors, especially Billie Meadowcroft and Andela Saric for their beautiful MD simulations www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Basement membrane turnover controls cell shapeBasement membranes are scaffolds of proteins, like collagen, that give organs shape. During development, basement membranes must adapt to the growing organ. We infer how fast the basement membrane ada...www.cell.com

Friday afternoon = Fix Your Bike time. 🚲 Behind FixYourBike is a group of colleagues who invite the whole campus to their repair sessions. The motto: bring your bike, learn to fix it yourself. And now there’s a bike repair station on campus too! 🔧 Thanks for keeping our bikes rolling!

Maternal patterning in early Drosophila embryos: how much information can single maternal gradients supply? #Drosophila

Very happy that our workshop on developmental robustness is happening! Thank you to @biologists.bsky.social for making it possible and to all the speakers for accepting the invitation. Join us! Applications for funded positions are now open.

I love biology--after decades of study, we're still learning new and surprising things about one of the best studied reproductive systems, that of the female fruit fly pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42489076/

In their Cell Science at a Glance article & poster, Pascal Höhne, Marie Hugenroth & Maria Bohnert @bohnertlab.bsky.social @uni-muenster.de highlight the multifunctionality & metabolic plasticity of the NVJ & its integration into the contact site network. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Saiduddin, @remlehmann.bsky.social et al. @whiteheadinstitute.bsky.social @mit.edu show that membrane lipid composition establishes the soma-germline boundary in the fly embryo. rupress.org/jcb/article/... #Drosophila #CellSignaling #StemCells

Closing session of @vgzt2021.bsky.social today with the always awesome speaker Cassandra Extavour! Don’t miss this!!

PAK4 promotes vertex remodeling to maintain epithelial integrity and barrier function rupress.org/jcb/article-...

PAK4 promotes vertex remodeling to maintain epithelial integrity and barrier functionAdhikary et al. show that PAK4 drives dynamic vertex remodeling in cells and embryos through spatiotemporal regulation of myosin II. Inhibition of PAK4 disrupress.org

This video shows wave patterns in the cell's cortex, the layer just below the outer membrane where so much signaling occurs. These waves are a self-organizing pattern that prepares an oocyte for polar body emission & cytokinesis during meiosis, using simple rules that produce complexity from chaos.

Doing a Master or PhD and interested in Developmental Biology? Join the free Institut Curie developmental biology course in beautiful Paris this fall! Great speaker lineup, check: training.institut-curie.org/courses/deve... Registration deadline Sept. 18 2026.

Tomorrow next lunch seminar of the @dgz.bsky.social : Topic this time: Physics of the cell. Be there!

Excited to see this collaboration now in print. Dye chemistry meets AI-designed proteins. Three small, orthogonal tags; lifetime modulation; split versions. Request the free dyes at dyes.janelia.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
