2/4 I chose this picture because I am interested in an old question:

How do fly testes obtain their specific shape?

In my previous research I learned that muscle precursors shape it, using collective cell migration and alignement to achieve the pattern visible in this picture.

In work now in press @jcellsci.bsky.social , we explored this, combining bioinformatic, biochemical, genetic and cell biological tools. This was powered by a remarkable team of postbac scholars including @emily-mcparland.bsky.social
