Excited to share our new paper out in Cell Reports Methods! @cp-cellrepmethods.bsky.social 🎉🎉🎉 We present EyaHOST, a modular Drosophila genetic system that enables precise and independent manipulation of tumours and host tissues to dissect tumour-host interactions. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Excited to share our paper, led by Naoki Okamoto in our group, just out in Nature! Neuroendocrine control of calcium mobilization in the fruit fly www.nature.com/articles/s41... We “re”-discovered the calcium storage site in “boneless” Drosophila and revealed how calcium mobilization is regulated.

🧵1/17 📣Thrilled to share our latest study just out in Cancer Discovery! ➡️ aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscov...

Neuroendocrine regulation of circulating Ca2+ levels in invertebrates. Beautiful work. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Delighted that Ziqi Dong's PhD paper is out for all to read! Hypoxia is fundamental to normal development, and fascinating! Thanks to all of our co-authors including @jamesnathanlab.bsky.social @jellevda.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

After a few years of living in Oslo, today I saw the king for the first time. Ceremony for the state opening of the parliament.

Our work on Nfkb signalling and tumourigenesis journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... was recently recognized with a prize by our Centre of Excellence @cancelluio.bsky.social

www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Will the future be to CRISPR genes from other species in our human genome to expand lifespan? What a cool study!

Thanks to all participants and our guest speakers Nick Gilbert (Uni of Edinburgh) and Omid Mirmotahari (UiO) for making the CanCell 8th Retreat a fantastic success! Great atmosphere, presentations, posters, teambuilding games. Congrats to the winners of CanCell Paper Awards, Poster Prizes,MinorGrant

A Nobel-winning scientist of great modesty and humour, John Gurdon died on 7 Oct. Not only did he make a discovery that laid the foundations for stem cell research, he also created one of the best environments for research at the Wellcome/CRUK Gurdon Institute wellcome.org/news/sir-joh...

Twenty-four years ago today, our paper “A forkhead-domain gene is mutated in a severe speech and language disorder” was published: www.nature.com/articles/350.... A personal thread about the ups & downs of the journey we took to get to that point....1/n 🗣️🧬🧪

There's an update on the state of FlyBase on the FlyBase.org front page. You can contribute to FlyBase at this link wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase... We express enormous gratitude to the people, labs, groups, and foundations who have already helped us. #FlyBase #Drosophila

I'm still mad someone decided to call them H2A, H2B, H3, H4.

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

I'm flying back home after 4 days of fantastic science at the #EDRC2025 It was delightful to hear about all the new work, meeting old and new friends. I'm feeling energized to get back to my CO2 pad. Long live the Drosophila community!

better than average science day? • sperm whale eating a giant squid confirmed • HHMI policy: preprints as most important form of publication

Fly folks are rocking here in Alicante! #EDRC2025

Only a few hours left before our meeting starts! Are you travelling to #EDRC2025 now? Let us know by using the oficial #EDRC2025 hashtag!

Super excited for the European Drosophila Research Conference 2025 in Alicante, Spain. Going to be 4 days of exciting science and lots of fun! My PhD student, Ujjayita will be giving a talk and I have a poster. Pls do drop by! 😊 #Drosophila #EDRC2025

We have an uncorrected proof published for Bhagaban Mallik's study on Mitochondrial Complex I and how it regulates synapse function. You can find it in @plosbiology.org. I am so proud! H/T collaborators: Drs. Sajad Bhat and Xinnan Wang @xinnanwanglab.bsky.social journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

On route to Alicante #EDRC2025 🪰🇪🇸

How do different tissues respond to mitochondrial dysfunction? @candrewfrank.bsky.social &co show that Complex I depletion triggers ROS-driven compensatory signaling in #MotorNeurons, but degeneration in muscles, with implications for #MitochondrialDisease @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4nLUIGJ

Our latest issue is out!👇 www.cell.com/current-biol... On the cover: Nautilus ≈ 🐙+🐚 (Maybe — like the Nautilus — our journal is a living fossil, believing in the interest and inspiration our readers might draw from the diversity of biological systems, questions and approaches we try to feature🙏 )

we found that nuclear envelope rupture triggers rapid DIAPH3 formin influx to generate a actin mesh to prevent further chromatin leakage from damaged nuclei. thanks to Pitter Huesgen @degradomics.bsky.social and @cibss.bsky.social, @chrkam.bsky.social

Just went through the full program/abstracts for the @edrc2025.bsky.social and wow! It's going to be such a rich meeting!🔥🪰💯

Interesting to see how the eLife review process shaped this controversial study. The current summary is worth a read! 🧪 elifesciences.org/articles/89106

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

We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

📣 Paper alert!!!! 📣Very happy to have participated a tiny bit in this super exciting piece of work by the @bentonlab.bsky.social lab! @joybabadeep.bsky.social and @camilla-roselli.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Read about how female muscles grow larger than male ones! and hearts too!

Looking forward to attending the Indian Drosophila Research Conference (InDRC) at IISER Mohali this December!! We have a stellar line up of speakers....can't wait for all the exciting science and the networking interactions!! #drosophila #conference #meetings #science #research

Collective cell motion has many forms, but rotation is the coolest of them all. I'm @onenimesa.bsky.social , and in this short🧵, I'll highlight some instances of global tissue rotation like this one from @BauschLab

✨If Monet studied mouse ovaries 🎨 Stromal cells 💜 Follicular cells 🔵 and Fatty Cells 🟡. Together, they reveal the cellular architecture and functional zones of the ovary 🔬 Image provided by @shmimberly.bsky.social 🧪 #FluorescenceFriday #ReproductiveBiology

Delighted to share our latest collaborative work with Santosh Chauhan's group at CCMB, Hyderabad, out now in @embojournal.org We use the Drosophila hematopoietic progenitors in this study to investigate pro-self-renewal mechanisms! Congrats to all the authors! www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

PhD thesis submitted!

Wowza

FlyBase needs your help! We ask that European labs continue to contribute to Cambridge, UK FlyBase, whereas US and other non-European labs can contribute to US FlyBase. For more information and how to donate: wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBase...

I love this!

I would not restrict to 'fly research', which may sound little important to the uninformed reader. FlyBase is the most elaborate, detailed and precise model organism data base we have and of use to many far beyond the Drosophila community - whilst being a role model setting helpful standards.
