Feliz Navidad y felices fiestas! Merry Christmas and a Happy holidays! #DrosoSpain

We are back from #EDRC2025 and very thankful to all our #DrosoSpain colleagues for the fantastic organization. It was great to see you all and we are looking forward to seeing you all in next year’s #DrosoSpain2026 . Stay tuned for a “savethedate” very soon!

A new study led by #DrosoSpain researcher Jose Pastor-Pareja at @neuroalc.bsky.social is now published on @currentbiology.bsky.social
In this work the authors have uncovered how the haltere, the flight stabilizer in flies, is shaped 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Different cellular and molecular mechanisms of chitin deposition contribute to the specificity of the two chitin synthases in D. melanogaster. Chitin is a major component of arthropod extracellular matrices, including the exoskeleton and the midgut peritrophic matrix. It plays a key role in the development, growth and viability of insects. B...

Our latest work is live in bioRxiv 📰✨.
Here, we dive into chitin deposition focusing on the peritrophic matrix and the specificity of chitin synthases.
