So much fun at the last dinner of #Dros25 @GeneticsGSA with @WengFlyLab and @JosephCampanale and our trainees. It was such a great meeting!

Fly Bayou groups at #Dros25 @GeneticsGSA! Great to see many people in person. From a small, local joint lab meeting, we've grown to >30 labs in 11 states. Amazing fly community!

@WengFlyLab demonstrates that not only the presence but the level of adherens junctions is critical for apical constriction, and establishing specific patterns of junction levels promotes proper shape and boundary of epithelial folding.

Very excited to post our most recent work by superstar postdoc @natclarke8 on EGFR signaling coordinating tissue folding and axis extension in Drosophila. If you love patterning, adhesion, and/or cytoskeleton, this has something for you! Check it out. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The desmosome, normally toiling away in obscurity, finds itself on the cover of @NatureCellBio by way the ER! We are excited to see our work in press along with a News and Views commentary by Harmon and @GottardiLab nature.com/articles/s41556-0…

Woohoo!! Congrats to Andrew Wooley and co! This has real potential to dramatically alter the landscape of cellular optogenetic tools...
Out yesterday! Bidirectional, cyanobacteriochrome-based light-inducible dimers (BICYCL)s 🚵♀️ enable optogenetic control of protein–protein interactions with green and red light, allowing multiplexing with existing blue light-controlled tools. nature.com/articles/s41592-0…

Only two days (extended deadline: Jan 9) left to submit your abstract for a short talk at RIKEN BDR Symposium 2023. We will explore transitions in biological systems in topics ranging from genome, mechanics, cell state, metabolism to behavior. tinyurl.com/2ftmv4w4 Please RT.
