BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 (thread 👇)

It is with great sadness that the University shares the news of the death of Professor Sir John Gurdon, founder of the @gurdoninstitute.bsky.social Read our tribute to the visionary Nobel Laureate and watch an interview from 2012, just after he won: https://bit.ly/4mM8o3r

We have had a great final morning at #EDRC2025 with three fantastic keynote lectures by Maria Gambetta, Tor Erik Rusten and Silke Sachse

3, 2, 1 and we are on!!! #EDRC2025 is starting! Welcome to our more than 740 participants from more than 40 countries! Thank you to all our sponsors!

Read the article ‘Mushroom bodies tiny regulates Sidekick localization to tricellular adherens junctions’ here: doi.org/10.1242/dev....

Our new preprint is out ! We uncover how adult Drosophila muscles respond to injury through a coordinated dialogue between hemocytes, tracheal cells, and muscles. Check it out and please share @igdrennes.bsky.social

After manuscript reviews full of inaccuracies which appear AI generated, and final grant rejection (despite excellent reviews), I will let the disappointment and anger pass, and will not review your manuscript tonight. I apologise for the potential delay, but you might thank me later.

I’m thrilled to share a @biorxivpreprint for my postdoc work in the @PerrimonLab🎉. Together with our collaborators, we built a tissue-specific atlas of circulating secreted proteins in Drosophila 🧬🪰🧪🗺️. Thread below🧵 1/8 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very happy to share our latest lab publication! The hard work of @bboumard.bsky.social, Gwenn Le Meur and collaborators! Cell-type-specific nucleotide sharing through gap junctions impacts sensitivity to replication stress in Drosophila: Developmental Cell authors.elsevier.com/a/1lDFi_Yv6z...

Serotonergic neurons regulate the Drosophila vascular niche to control immune stress hematopoiesis #Drosophila

#drosophila @flybase.bsky.social request emergency funding: "As it stands, by the end of July, 2025, there will be no future updates to FlyBase, and in the worst case scenario access to the website will also be lost" => please donate! www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...

Flybase lost all of the NIH support overnight - it is a disaster for the community. Please consider donating. I just did! www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb...

Many cells during development are exposed to caspase activation and yet survive. Why some die and not others ? We found out that the memory of previous caspase activation bias significantly later death comitment and bias death distribution and single cell decision www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

If using Bloomigton #Drosophila Stock Center stocks, pls. acknowledge them & their NIH funding (P40 OD018537). Papers listing this no. are being harvested as evidence. We massively depend on the @bdsc.bsky.social & they need our support in these dire times! @flybase.bsky.social @fly-eds.bsky.social

Thrilled to present our study aiming to identify new vulnerabilities in lung cancer: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Joining forces from mouse genetics, thoracic oncology, metabolism, and AlphaFold fields we dissected the role of a largely unknown but essential protein in cancer, FMO4.🧵

Hi! Here is a PhD opportunity at Montpellier, IGH institute with Séverine Chambeyron to study endogenous retroviruses ! #TEsky #PhD

Retour en images sur le discours notre président Patrick Lemaire lors du rassemblement #StandUpForScience #7Mars devant l'opéra Comédie à 18h à #Montpellier où nous étions nombreux, en plus des 4 rassemblements du midi

We keep standing up for Sciences in Montpellier @standupforscifr.bsky.social

Stand Up for Science France protest this Friday March 7. Numerous actions throughout France including a protest march in Paris starting at Jussieu 13h30 by @sufs-paris-rp.bsky.social @standupforscience.bsky.social 👉 standupforscience.fr #StandUpForScience #StandUpForScienceFrance

L’Inserm rejoint Bluesky ! Découvrez ici toutes les actualités de la recherche médicale menée par l’Inserm, pour la santé de toutes et tous.

#Drosophila community: Dr. Istvan Ando has generously donated his invaluable anti-hemocyte monoclonal Abs to the #NIH-founded public repository @dshb-antibodies.bsky.social in #Iowa. We’ve tested several of them and they look great. See the🧵 for details. (1/5)

Check out our latest paper in Science Advances, in which we built a constriction-based microfluidic device to measure the deformability of oocytes to assess their mechanical properties with minimal impact. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Check out our most recent preprint where we describe Mecp2 as a régulatrice of cGAS-STING associated signaling. 🧪🔥

Our latest extraordinary biologist is Sarah Bray, Chair of our Board of Directors. To learn more about Sarah's role and relationship with @biologists.bsky.social, read this interview in @dev-journal.bsky.social: bit.ly/3CEibaX. #100biologists @uniofcam.bsky.social

Reminder that @europepmc.org is a mirror of Pubmed with better search and that it indexes *all* bioRxiv preprints (as well as ResearchSquare), not just the ones funded by NIH like chauvinist Pubmed

I'm going ask my kids to make the Drosophila for me.

To kick start the New Year, I'm delighted to share the lab's first preprint - now online: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... See below for a couple of highlights👇 Any feedback is welcome! "TEsky" HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! 🥂

Happy #FluorescenceFriday!

My favorite stress releasing activity: Fossil hunting. One of my best find and prep. I think it is an Emericiceras emerici, from the South of France. Picture on site and at different stages of prepping. Scale bar is 5cm #FossilFriday

Welcome to the #EDRC2025 account of the 28th European Drosophila Conference which will take place in Alicante from the 25th to the 28th of September 2025! Stay tuned for the upcoming news!

Very interesting paper on the origin of #Drosophila adult midgut from "endoblasts" www.cell.com/developmenta...

We are looking for our future colleagues. IRCM (www.ircm.fr) host labs studying cancer biology from basic to translational research. Montpellier has a thriving and very dynamic scientific life. Please forward to potential candidates.

This year has been spectacular for chanterelles #fungi

#Montpellier #CoeurDeVilleEnLumieres 🤩
