A discovery by PhD candidate Nuno Padrão forms the basis of a clinical trial for breast cancer patients initiating this year. It involves stress hormones. They trick your body into believing it’s in a caloric deficit. This is easier to sustain than fasting ➡️ www.nki.nl/news-events/...

Many thanks to Marc @amoyellab.bsky.social for the very inspiring talk linking metabolism and differentiation in the fly testis at the @imbb-forth.bsky.social Junior scientists retreat. And to our #EU_funded for sponsoring his travelling.
SCENTINEL is sponsoring the 2025 IMBB junior retreat where young scientists can present their projects, interact with the key invited speakers, enjoy!
Lots of exciting PhD projects on offer at the LMB, including in our group 😊
👀Next Wednesday, Oct 22nd, at #FragileNucleosome seminar, we are excited to host @alicelaigle.bsky.social and @seungsookim.bsky.social to tell us about amazing work they are doing!
🗓️Register here for upcoming session and the entire series:

Our opinion can impact the future of european science and strengthen Drosophila research. Lets go!
Thanks Babis!
Indeed, I love it when simple experiments can sometimes just be enough 🤩
Not everything necessarily needs the heavy OMICs weapons 😜 (And this is from someone who loves genomics!!)
We are in Bluesky and we are happy to share our two last consortium publications: the DrosEU expanded DEST dataset and a Continent-wide study of phenotypic differentiation among European #Drosophila melanogaster populations (1/7)

Free course in Developmental Biology starting tomorrow in Paris 🇫🇷, held at @sorbonne-universite.fr! 🧪 #science #biology
Great get together for fly researchers. Many SCENTINEL partners participated from @imbb-forth.bsky.social @cnrs.fr IJM and @igbmc.bsky.social and @SU. Many thanks to the organizers and the @fly-eds.bsky.social see you all in Bonn2027
The last (but not least) featured keynote speaker is Wei Zhang from Peking-Tsinghua Center for Life Sciences. Her research focuses on integrating experimental and computational approaches to investigate evolutionary innovation and functional diversification at the levels of micro and macroevolution.
There are only 8 days left to register to @edrc2025.bsky.social and we would like to thank all our sponsorss! We start acknowledging the support received from @biologists.bsky.social to #EDRC2025 Thank you!
Our new preprint is out !
We uncover how adult Drosophila muscles respond to injury through a coordinated dialogue between hemocytes, tracheal cells, and muscles.
Check it out and please share
@igdrennes.bsky.social
Now available in its final form @narjournal.bsky.social !

Find out how we can reconstruct enhancer activity in vivo in the Drosophila embryo using scRNAseq data and Optimal Transport.
#RosalynYalow rewrote the rules. Nobel laureate, co-inventor of radioimmunoassay, she proved type 2 diabetes stems from insulin resistance. In a world that doubted her, she proved science needs women—always has.

🧐 What's happening here? It may not be obvious but they're cells competing between each other.
⚔️ This battle of red vs green is one of @milanlab.bsky.social 's findings: aneuploid cells are actively eliminated by neighbouring cells through cell competition.
