So happy to see the cephalic furrow combo out back-to-back! This was a wonderful collaborative endeavor 🥹
We are all super happy and proud to see our work on the function and evolution of the #cephalic #furrow published in @nature.com. Let me say a few things about the background and history of this work on the #Evolution_of_Morphogenesis (1/12)

Thanks to Mary Abraham for editorial help with the N&V and huge thanks to @levayerr.bsky.social for proofreading/fact-checking it. Fly development can be a bit far from my comfort zone, so it’s always reassuring to have an expert in your corner. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Flies evolved a shock-absorber tissue used during embryonic development
The role of tissue that forms between the head and trunk of a fly embryo has been unclear. It turns out that it absorbs forces when nearby cells move and divide.
