In vivo relevance of intercellular calcium signaling in Drosophila wing development

This study investigates the in vivo role of intercellular calcium signaling in Drosophila wing development, showing its impact on wing morphology and patterning through chemical stimuli and extracellular matrix interactions.

QuickStitch for seamless stitching of confocal mosaics through high-pass filtering and recursive normalization

QuickStitch corrects vignetting in confocal mosaics through recursive normalization, enabling seamless stitching of large immunofluorescence images without visible seams.

A regulated environment for micro-organs defines essential conditions for intercellular Ca2+ waves

The paper introduces a chip-based system to study mechanical stress and biochemical signaling in micro-organs, identifying conditions for intercellular calcium waves in Drosophila wing discs.
