Our study reveals that a this novel asymmetry has evolved through the co-option of a pre-existing tissue remodeling process. Tissue rotation represents a previously unreported mechanism, through which a bilateral organ can acquire a left-right size asymmetry. 3/3

Our new paper is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social!

A switch to non-proliferative growth sustains Drosophila wing development during the early pupal stage

My PhD work is out in Science Advances! We show how DPP drives tissue morphogenesis by encoding local mechanical programs iteratively, unraveling a self-organizing mechanism linking morphogen gradients to tissue dynamics. www.science.org/doi/full/10.... #DevBio #Morphogenesis #Drosophila

Automorphy as a self-organizing DPP-dependent process that translates patterns into mechanical programs during Drosophila embryogenesis

Automorphy gets the morph into the morphogen.
