We’re very excited to have our paper featured in the cover of @emboreports.org! Go check out our work to see more images like this one, and of course to learn more about the role of the ECM in tracheal-epidermal interactions during Drosophila embryogenesis 👇
See our first June issue!

The cover features work by Daniel Ríos @yosoyden.bsky.social
at UNAM in Mexico City and co-workers showing that the #ECM scaffolds interdependent #tissue morphogenesis in #Drosophila.
