Shefali@iamshef.bsky.social · 4w agoHey #Drosophila folks - the #flycross #mentee survey is open for #grad students, #postdoc and #pretenure faculty. ~95 mentors from across the world, with diverse expertise. The co-chairs @shyama13.bsky.social and @jocmcdonald.bsky.social have done a phenomenal work in taking the program forward 🎉
If you are looking for a PhD position and you like working with #Drosophila, I highly recommend applying. You will not only do exciting science, you will also have an amazing mentor.

I am excited to share our work, recently published in PLOS Biology, in which we uncover a mechanism by which intestinal stem cells (ISCs) recognise pathogenic bacteria following infection and promote intestinal regeneration. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
Recognition of pathogenic bacteria by intestinal stem cells promotes adult Drosophila midgut regeneration
Bacteria infecting the intestinal epithelium are recognized by epithelial and immune cells, however the role of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) remains unclear. This study shows that adult Drosophila mid...

Andreas Wodarz warmheartedly introduces Elisabeth Knust, the winner of the Klaus Sander Award of #GfE2026 for her lifetime achievements in devbio. Her groundbreaking scientific research contributed to elucidating molecular & cellular mechanisms underlying development of epithelial cell polarity.
That's it: #GfE2026 #GfESEBDDSDB2026 is over. Thanks for the science, talks, posters, chairing, discussions, helpers in back & front. See you latest at #GfE2028 for more #DevBio & oidsks for all the fish, plants, mice, worm, flies, frogs, squids, brown algae, human, -oids, whatnots and you.
New paper from @uwe689.bsky.social ! Muscle and #ECM remodeling during fly metamorphosis is still poorly understood. Why? Pupae are really hard to work with. Uwe took on the challenge and explored how Mmp2 contributes to this amazing morphogenetic process. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #cellbio
