Cell-type-specific nucleotide sharing through gap junctions impacts sensitivity to replication stress in Drosophila
Boumard et al. demonstrate gap-junction-dependent tissue-scale nucleotide sharing,
which impacts cellular sensitivity to perturbation of nucleotide homeostasis and replication
stress. Drosophila wing ...

Our new paper is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! Using 3D reconstructions and volume measurements in Drosophila wing primordia, we show that growth can be uncoupled from cell proliferation and uncover a new time window for growth arrest.

A switch to non-proliferative growth sustains Drosophila wing development during the early pupal stage
Using precise tissue volume quantification, El Marzkioui, Gaugué, et al. show that
wing primordia continue to grow during the early pupal stage, a phase of increased
