I am excited to share my new paper in @plosbiology.org . Here we show the role of chitin, a polysaccharide, in controlling the shape of the fly corneal lens. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

How does the #corneal #lens in the #fly eye get its light-focusing shape? @nehaghosh.bsky.social &co show that central cells produce large amounts of #chitin to form the thick central corneal lens; peripheral cells produce smaller amounts to form tapered lens edges @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4lLNgeY

Permeabilization with fenchone enhances cryopreservation of Drosophila embryos #Drosophila

Dr. Paul Ehrlich, founder of the field of population biology, Stanford professor, prolific author of books on butterflies, birds, & human ecology, world-class environmentalist, outspoken scientist, and a personal friend, has passed away. A giant in the field of ecology. youtu.be/vW1z4n4Dusk?...

Sometimes EM shows weird things...what in the name of the Lord is this?

I finally had some time to improve my poster about staging Drosophila embryos in collaboration with @stramerlab.bsky.social and we would like to share this with the community! You can find it here or at a higher resolution on my portfolio: www.behance.net/gallery/2458... #DrosophilaEmbryogenesis

The Hilde Mangold Prize of the German Society for Developmental Biology is awarded to Maik Bischoff (@maikbischoff.bsky.social) at #GfE2026 for his research on "Mesenchymal sculpting as a driver of chiral organ development" in Drosophila.

Now at #gfe2026, @katjaroeper.bsky.social shows how, in making tubes, individual cells organise supracellular 'cables' across tissues that provide zones protected from large mechanical forces, highlighting the value of cross-scale perspectives. See Katja's recent @dev-journal.bsky.social Review⤵️

‪Congratulations to the one and only Maik Bischoff @maikbischoff.bsky.social on receiving the Hilde Mangold award from the Gesellschaft für Entwicklungsbiologie @gfeev.bsky.social #GfE2026 So well deserved! 👏 We’re very happy and proud to have you with us @uni-muenster.de and @sfb1348.bsky.social
