We investigate how mechanical interactions between neurons and their environment contribute to CNS development and disorder. @Cambridge_Uni@MPZ_PhysMed@UniFAU
Proud to share this work with @KevinChalut and @Byron_Mui Why do some injuries scar while others regenerate? Using digit tip models, we show the ECM is a key driver. HA-rich ECM promotes regeneration, and boosting it can shift healing away from fibrosis. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Fascinating discussions yesterday at the 2026 Spring Meeting of the German Physical Society (DPG) in Dresden.
Thanks to @Franze_Lab for the invitation to speak about tissue mechanics.
Our 3D prints of crocodile embryos sparked a lot of curiosity among researchers and students.
You fully deserve it! Just continue your amazing research at the interface of physical and life sciences. very much looking forward to future breakthroughs coming from your lab!
Jochen Guck just passed away. He was not only a brilliant mind, amazing researcher, and outstanding person — he was also one of the best friends one could ever have. Jochen, you will be missed so deeply. Your spirit and laughter will stay in our hearts forever.
