Curvature control during insect wing unfolding

Type of internship

Description
Insects inflate wings larger than their cocoons within minutes, but what keeps them flat instead of curling? Combining advanced imaging, genetic perturbations, and mechanical testing, we seek the principles that ensure wing flatness and regulate curvature.
