We will miss you badly, my friend...
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.

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
In preprints: unpicking chemical and mechanical crosstalk for axonal pathfinding @DionnHargreaves and @LabWoolner discuss the #preprint from @EvaPillai, @SudiptaM1994, @Franze_Lab et al. https://t.co/Cpy8AGww2n

Cellular shape is intimately linked to cell function and state, and transitions between cell states are tightly coupled to shape changes. Yet, shape has been largely overlooked in state transitions...
