Drosophila as a model system to understand #collagen IV-related genetic disease. Learn how fly genetics and exploding brain tissue can inform on #ECM defects and pathological mechanisms. Team effort led by a very talented recent PhD graduate, Angus Nichols. doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...

A membrane proximal actin probe (MPAct) in fly macrophages unveils an actin cortex interconnected with the lamellar network. The homeostatic balance of these two actin networks is coordinated by the cortical-regulator, Moesin. Amazing work from @besaizsanchez.bsky.social and team.
