Today we congratulate #SEBD member Elisa Marti @ibmb-csic.bsky.social for being one of this year’s awardees of the ERC advanced grants! With her project SpinaLogic her research group aims to unravel the direct conection between the genetic mutations associated with Spina bifida (1/2)

🔬 A study in #Drosophila reveals how the immune system adjusts development in response to excess sugar. ✍️ Sergio Juarez-Carreño & @milanlab.bsky.social 📰 Current Biology-@cellpress.bsky.social#Drosophila ➡️ https://shorturl.at/2tqIe  📌 DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2026.05.028

Our paper "Gene ancestries reveal diverse microbial associations during eukaryogenesis.” is finally out in Nature. Eukaryogenesis was likely a gradual process shaped by multiple microbial partners and virus-mediated gene transfer, rather than a single binary symbiosis. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Fantastic news for the lab! We've just been awarded a Wellcome Discovery award and will be recruiting at postdoc and research assistant level shortly. We're excited by this project that aims to understand how metabolism influences male germline development. Please forward to any interested people!

A tumour-host feed-forward loop contributes to the growth of chromosomal instability-induced tumours #Drosophila

A new study led by @milanlab.bsky.social's team at  #IRBBarcelona shows that tumours with chromosomal instability can promote their own growth by damaging the surrounding healthy tissues. ➡️ https://shorturl.at/s4xr5 📌 @emboreports.org DOI: 10.1038/s44319-026-00811-7 #IRBScience #CancerResearch

Pregnancy loss is common in humans, and chromosomal abnormalities are the leading cause. Using genetic data from ~140,000 IVF embryos, we show that maternal variation in meiosis genes influences recombination and aneuploidy risk. First authors: @saracarioscia.bsky.social & @aabiddanda.github.io
