The people behind the papers - Lukasz Truszkowski and Erez Raz

Amoeboid cells can alter their migration mode depending on the substrate they encounter in vitro, but how this translates in an in vivo setting was unknown. Now, a paper published in Development describes changes in the migration mode of primordial germ cells when moving through different germ layers. We caught up with first author Lukasz Truszkowski and corresponding author Erez Raz, Professor at the University of Münster in Germany, to find out more about their research.
