🪲🪰 Our preprint is out! This was a team effort with @wolframponisch.bsky.social, @matthewabenton.bsky.social and Ewa Paluch.
We asked whether Drosophila and Tribolium use the same cell behaviours to fold their embryos during gastrulation.

Morphospace analysis reveals divergent cellular behaviours driving tissue internalisation during insect gastrulation
During gastrulation, embryonic epithelia undergo large-scale remodelling to internalise the mesoderm. Whether the cellular mechanisms underlying these tissue deformations are conserved across species ...
