My lab @poldresden.bsky.social is now CLOSED! The fabulous @sanikajah.bsky.social has left (defense soon). The lab @mbisg.bsky.social in SG is now 1yr old and growing!
PhD students apply here (Jan 12): www.mbi.nus.edu.sg/education/gr...
Undergrads (Jan 31): www.mbi.nus.edu.sg/education/mu...

For those of you in Singapore curious about doing a PhD in mechanobiology, come by our MBI Open House on Nov 18 @mbisg.bsky.social. I will be looking for talented students next round!

Then we use physical modeling and genetic perturbations to argue that the aECM has an adhesive function that stabilizes the folds and must be biochemically removed at early pupal stages to allow unfolding.

Using electron microscopy @mpi-cbg.de, we discover extensive fibrous apical extracellular matrix (aECM) that covers the folds from top to bottom and adheres the two sides together through apical microvilli.

We used light sheet microscopy and new analysis methods to extract the 3D apical surface of the wing disc and quantify its main folds over development.
