A switch to non-proliferative growth sustains Drosophila wing development during the early pupal stage Using precise tissue volume quantification, El Marzkioui, Gauguรฉ, et al. show that wing primordia continue to grow during the early pupal stage, a phase of increased cell volume driven by insulin/IGF ...

Our new paper is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! Using 3D reconstructions and volume measurements in Drosophila wing primordia, we show that growth can be uncoupled from cell proliferation and uncover a new time window for growth arrest.

Kristina Stapornwongkul is joining IMBA! The Stapornwongkul lab will study how the nutritional environment and metabolic processes influence embryonic developmentโ€”an emerging research area with broad implications for both fundamental biology and biomedical applications. Welcome, Kristina!

My first blue update! Sharing my most recent illustration in a scientific journal.Thank you to @oliverastone.bsky.social who contacted me to adapt his concept as the cover for his paper in @naturecvr.bsky.social. These are the original design and the journal version!
