Still time to submit abstracts —due March 16!— for our Comparative #Cartilage & #Bone Biology (CCBB) conference (ccbb-conference.com).
A forward-thinking, interactive and inclusive conference for lovers of skeletal (and dental) tissues.
Cutting edge work on #skeletalbiology, intimate discussions and great wine in southern France, 10-13 June, 2025. We’re raising funds to keep registration costs low, especially for junior researchers.
DM me with questions!

Iridescence is everywhere, sometimes in unexpected places like the sesame seed-sized eggs of stick insects! Our new paper, led by @GerbenDebruyn, shows that this color is produced by thin-film interference by a nanoscale outer layer, and functions in ??

The last session of #DZG2024 is running. In this #multidisciplinary session of the subject groups, #morphology is represented by Beny Wipfler with amazing insights into the #tracheal systems of #insects
#DZG2024 Satellite symposia are happing today in advance of the annual meeting of the DZG. Lots of great insights into behavioral tactics and morphological adaptations in the symposium on #predator-#prey-#interactions. Right now Stano Pekar on #spider predators

New paper!
Our stick insects have weird chromosome segregation.
The major centromere protein, CenH3, binds to the autosomes in a monocentric pattern, but in a holocentric pattern on the X.

How do #stingrays produce blue, nature's rarest color?
Our paper tinyurl.com/stingblue in @AdvOpticalMat shows the mechanism: a combo of melanin + a unique #structuralcolor cell, with a #coreshell #photonicglass structure
