Truly honoured to receive the @bsdb.bsky.social Marie Johansson prize! A testament to Marie’s legacy and the mentors/collaborators I was lucky to work with.
Such a privilege to grow in the #DevBio community that's supported me since the start of my career.
Looking forward to more exciting science!
We're sharing the tentative schedule for the upcoming #Drosophila #NewPI JEDI conference! Register now to join an outstandingly collaborative environment. We cover diverse topics including #CellBiology, #DevBio, #neuroscience, #omics, #behavior, #DiseaseModel and many more!
7 day old zebrafish embryo with green-glowing cells outlining the cardiovascular system, craniofacial muscles (faint), and the heart, with undulating blood vessels around the developing gut and glowing pectoral fins. Embryos has been imaged from below, with head facing up.
Want to observe how beautiful #devbio is?
Make more transgenic #zebrafish (ideally showing lateral plate mesoderm-derived structures, of course). 🧬🫀🐟🧪

Save the date! Xenopus Resources and Emerging Technologies (XRET) Meeting: October 2-5, 2026 at MBL, Woods Hole, MA www.xenbase.org/xenbase/doNe... #science #devbio #xenopus #frogs
Delighted to introduce KELPE: mESCs with two insulated genomic landing pads, which we use to generate new synNotch and PUFFFIN neighbour-labelling lines.
They were named after kelpies, creatures from Scottish folklore, and they look pretty on a kelpie micropattern!

Awesome picture Mathieu! 🔥
These fingerprint-actin ridges look so cool... is it known how they form?

Follow-up from last week’s #FluorescenceFriday 🐟✨
Took a closer look at the gill comb “tooth” — the actin microridges of the enveloping epithelial layer almost look like microscopic fingerprints, each with a distinct pattern

Wait a moment...
...bee lice are THAT closely related to Drosophila?
I had no idea... why isn't there much more evodevo and morphogensis work on bee lice? This divergence from the "normal" Drosophilid bauplan is just... crazy

Such an amazing story and beautiful microscopy !

This was a great meeting! What a fantastic way to celebrate #DevBio with our #GfE and #DSDB colleagues at #GfESEBDDSBD2026 Thank you all for the #science , the discussions and all the fun! See you all again soon! #GfE2026
This was such a fantastic meeting!
I’m back home now… with my head (and my notebook) full of new ideas 😊
Thanks to the organizers at @gfeev.bsky.social , @sebioldev.bsky.social and DSDB!
#devbio #cellbio #gfe26
On the way back to the lab 🥼🧫 after four days of amazing science, discussions, fun, meeting friends & colleagues. A lot of ideas, concepts, and tools to reflect on - #DevBio rocks!🚀💫
Great thanks to all organisers and participants for coming together and making #Gfe2026 an unforgettable experience!
Just combed through my old data… et voilà: a tooth of the gill comb. 🐟✨ #FluorescenceFriday

That's it: #GfE2026 #GfESEBDDSDB2026 is over. Thanks for the science, talks, posters, chairing, discussions, helpers in back & front. See you latest at #GfE2028 for more #DevBio & oidsks for all the fish, plants, mice, worm, flies, frogs, squids, brown algae, human, -oids, whatnots and you.
Final morning at #gfe2026, with Hans Clevers delivering the @isdb.bsky.social lecture. Hans brings together #devbio, stem cells and medicine, using organoid models of the small intestine to study human disease, explaining why signalling and the microenvironment are important for stem cell activity.
