✍️ The Guichet Lab published a new article 📖 @dev-journal.bsky.social 📃 Girdin controls the pace of 3D tracheal cell intercalation by coupling adherens junctions to the actin cytoskeleton in Drosophila 🔗 buff.ly/Z2AZfQU ⬇️ Scientific news published by @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social

Why is publishing so expensive? In this Editorial, we (@katherine-brown.bsky.social @drmichaelway.bsky.social & @seemagrewal.bsky.social) provide details and context on JCS's finances, and hope to dispel some of the myths around the economics of publishing. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Just hatched: the first egg-cellent paper from @carvalhosantosz.bsky.social lab! 🥚🪰 A beautiful ovaries-to-behavior axis: Stalled egg production = a drop in Dilp8. This releases the protein appetite brake, driving the fly to eat yeast to unblock the system. biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

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

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
