The ubiquity of computation in modern research inflicts new challenges for reproducibility. How do we navigate the digital waters?

Hello everyone, I’d like to share with you another 3D viewer for FIJI, BigVolumeBrowser (full documentation link). It‘s a first initial public release, so there is still space for improvements. Le...

DAFT principles are a minimal set of principles I've been using to organize my research papers that foster good scientific practice.

The winners of this year's Nikon Small World in Motion are out, and my favorite is the 5th place entry, A newborn sea urchin walking along the seabed by

Freire-Delgado and Brunet discover a new mode of cell motility in choanoflagellates, the closest relatives of animals. Under mild confinement, choanoflagellate move over surfaces without cell deformat...

The role of tissue that forms between the head and trunk of a fly embryo has been unclear. It turns out that it absorbs forces when nearby cells move and divide.

In Drosophila, the cephalic furrow counteracts mechanical stress as the developing head and the trunk tissues meet, providing evidence for how mechanical forces influence the evolution of morphog...

A small tissue fold present in fruit fly embryos buffers mechanical stresses and may have evolved in response to mechanical forces.

During morphogenesis, initially flat tissues often must transition into complex 3D shapes, reminiscent of shape-programmable systems in physics and engineering. One key question in developmental biolo...

The Drosophila Genetic Database, FlyBase, is on the brink of collapse due to the sudden termination of the FlyBase NIH grant, which includes salaries for 5 literature curators based at the University ...

Accurate growth control is critical for the achievement of proportional organs during animal development and repair processes. Either extra or deficie…

Dresden researchers show how cells can create a new organism from scratch by coordinating their mechanical properties.

The newest version of EvoDevo Papers is online, and it's the biggest update since the last codebase refactoring. I've made several additions and improvements
