#DBfeature #Drosophila🪰 Opposing effects of ecdysone signaling regulate neuroblast proliferation to ensure coordination of brain and organism development by Andreia Oliveira, Catarina Homem @TheHomemLab sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Eunice Silva, @margarida_venda & @TheHomemLab find that serine hydroxymethyl transferase is required for optic lobe neuroepithelia development in Drosophila. 📖@Dev_Journal: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15… #DevSImetabolism
Serine hydroxymethyl transferase is required for optic lobe neuroepithelia development in Drosophila An #OpenAccess Research Article in our Stem Cells and Regeneration section of #DevSImetabolism by Eunice Silva, @margarida_venda & @TheHomemLab journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…
Within hours of #neuron birth, terminal differentiation genes are transcribed, but not translated. In #PLOSBiology, @TheHomemLab reveals that these transcripts are only translated days later in a way that coordinates with developmental stage in #Drosophila plos.io/3IzWad5
Our postdoc Ana just signed her CEEC contract, granting her funds to pursue her scientific work for the next 6 years! Congrats ! @nova_medschool @fct_pt @NOVAunl
