The peer-reviewed version of our cephalic furrow paper is out 🎉 It was published back-to-back with another cephalic furrow study: Research mutualism This was a wonderful collaborative effort to understand the developmental role and evolutionary origins of this prominent but overlooked tissue fold of fly embryos. We were two teams working on a similar question, […]

Cephalic furrow thread
I published a cephalic furrow thread about our paper on Twitter and Mastodon. We recently updated the manuscript on bioRxiv. In addition to the tissue mechanics, this new version includes gene expression data comparing Drosophila with Clogmia, a fly that has no cephalic furrow… It gives us some hints about the patterning changes associated with […]
