A recent paper is out from Zheng Guo's lab, describing the mechanism balancing enteroendocrine cell numbers in the fly gut: lnkd.in/eciTmQSD So is my News and Views piece covering the paper for a wider audience: rdcu.be/fwFDB Thanks to @hollyasmith.bsky.social for editing the piece! @nature.com

URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯 Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below. This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.

I just made a contribution to save the Drosophila Genetic Database. From my pocket, as I have no lab funds. It's too important not to act. www.philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-camb... @flybase.bsky.social

Tumor biologists! do we know that tumors produce mRNA (or RNA generally) more quickly than healthy tissues? maybe there are old papers on this? (pls reski)

I've been away from social media for some time, but I'm very happy to share that we just got a paper out describing how a network of bHLH transcription factors simultaneously regulates #Drosophila #IntestinalStemCell self-renewal and bipotential differentiation www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A bHLH interaction code controls bipotential differentiation and self-renewal in the Drosophila gut
Multipotent adult stem cells balance self-renewal with differentiation into various cell types. How this balance is regulated at the transcriptional l…

Birth defects are the #1 cause of death in the first year of life (🧵). Birth defects kill more than twice as many children as cancer. Birth defects are diseases of developmental biology. Here are CDC statistics for 2021. 1/5 wisqars.cdc.gov/pdfs/leading...
