🚨 New preprint!
We built a single-cell atlas of 14 multilayered epithelia and revealed a conserved transcriptomic program guiding tissue architecture and fate composition. Our work brings decades of tissue-specific studies together into a unified evo-devo framework.

#GastrulationReloaded was a FANTASTIC , loaded with exciting discoveries. It went beyond gastrulation because what happens before & after is obviously connected. Still, not half the people who should be there were. @jeromegros.bsky.social largely funded the conference 👏. @embo.org should reconsider

Signaling-dependent refinement of cell fate choice during tissue remodeling in Drosophila pupal wings
Herszterg et al. show that during morphogenesis of the Drosophila pupal wing, a wave
of Notch signaling activity updates cell fates to ensure robust and precise patterning
of wing veins.
