Adhesion to a common ECM mediates interdependence in tissue morphogenesis in Drosophila
For organs to be functional, the cells and tissues that constitute them must effectively interact with each other and coordinate their behaviours. Halfway during Drosophila embryogenesis, two lateral ...

The first original research paper from my lab is now out in @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Tracheal development is an amazing model to study morphogenesis. There are great works out there that show how this tissue elongates, interconnects, and forms branches (1/n)
