This EMBO Workshop on Forces Across Scales will provide an integrative perspective on mechanobiology, a rapidly advancing field that examines how mechanical forces shape biological systems across mol…

DrosTuga 2026 is the annual meeting of the Portuguese Drosophila research community, bringing together researchers from Portugal and abroad. Here you can discover the dates, speakers, programme, venu...

Basement membranes are scaffolds of proteins, like collagen, that give organs shape. During development, basement membranes must adapt to the growing organ. We infer how fast the basement membrane ada...

Tissue phase transitions are key to morphogenesis. Now adhesion-driven rigidification is identified as key to epithelial organization but only if uncoupled from density-driven jamming.

Vocal fold cancer tumours lose some of their malignant traits when mechanically stimulated by physiological stretch or vibrations, mimicking the opening and closing of vocal folds and phonation.

Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is essential for spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) silencing and mitotic exit, but its regulation during mitosis remains i…

Nature Reviews Cancer - Comparative oncology combines evolutionary biology, ecology, veterinary medicine and clinical oncology to better understand cancer, for example, by identifying the molecular...

This work introduces Flysta3D-v2, a 3D spatiotemporal multi-omics database that spans Drosophila development from embryogenesis to metamorphosis. Through the integration of multimodal data, we detail ...

During tissue formation, dynamic cell shape changes drive morphogenesis while asymmetric divisions create cellular diversity. We found that the shifts in cell morphology that shape tissues could conco...

Faithful cell division relies on mitotic chromosomes becoming bioriented with each pair of sister kinetochores bound to microtubules oriented toward o…
