Absolutely ecstatic to share that WE GOT THE COVER!!! 🥹🎉 Seeing this on NCB's cover feels surreal. So much time, science, and teamwork went into this project, and I couldn’t be more excited to see it celebrated like this. A very, very happy day for this really really old and grown embryo 🐭🧫💥

Our new paper is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! Using 3D reconstructions and volume measurements in Drosophila wing primordia, we show that growth can be uncoupled from cell proliferation and uncover a new time window for growth arrest. With @leopoldlab.bsky.social www.cell.com/current-biol...

A switch to non-proliferative growth sustains Drosophila wing development during the early pupal stage
Using precise tissue volume quantification, El Marzkioui, Gaugué, et al. show that wing primordia continue to grow during the early pupal stage, a phase of increased cell volume driven by insulin/IGF ...
