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…

Thanks a lot, Michel, for joining us and delivering an amazing and inspiring talk! Reptiles are just great - and full of physics!
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!
and of course! Big and special thanks to @Franze_Lab for the continued support and this nomination 🙏🏼🐸
Highly recommended, great lab! And even if I may be a bit biased, I think the environment is also cool. #mechanobiology #MPZPM

Thanks @DionnHargreaves @LabWoolner @Dev_journal for highlighting our preprint! Curious how mechanical and chemical signaling guide axon pathfinding—or how frogs are an excellent model for unpicking this question?@Franze_Lab @EvaPillai 🐸🧠 Check it out. #xenopus #Devbio
