What a beautiful museum, @nhm-london.bsky.social
A scientific touch for the Holidays: Drosophila bone china baubles!
A Halloween treat just for fun! My beloved journal covers have come to life today. Check them out here! www.behance.net/gallery/2364...
A little peek at my illustration work from the last year! I had some really creative scientific commissions and also expanded into new areas, creating teaching resources for subjects like History and Design (loved it!). If you're curious, check my portfolio at:

Exploring the telomere bouquet and its nucleus-to-cytoplasm connection across species. A beautiful commission for Julia Cooper to start the year, featured in Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology (doi.org/10.1101/cshp...). Check out my portfolio at Behance.net/MariaDiaz_delaLoza!
I finally had some time to improve my poster about staging Drosophila embryos in collaboration with @stramerlab.bsky.social and we would like to share this with the community! You can find it here or at a higher resolution on my portfolio: www.behance.net/gallery/2458...

Our new paper is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! Using 3D reconstructions and volume measurements in Drosophila wing primordia, we show that growth can be uncoupled from cell proliferation and uncover a new time window for growth arrest.

Using precise tissue volume quantification, El Marzkioui, Gaugué, et al. show that
wing primordia continue to grow during the early pupal stage, a phase of increased
cell volume driven by insulin/IGF ...
