Our story about relaxing sponges is out today in Current Biology! 🧽 For a concise summary, check out the thread below 👇 cell.com/current-biolog…

Sponges lack muscles & neurons. Yet, they move. How? EMBL Heidelberg Arendt Group Arendt Lab, Savitski Lab, Prevedel Lab & others, showed that sponge movement relies on an ancient relaxant-inflammatory response also found in vertebrate vascular systems. embl.org/news/science/a…

Happy to announce our new preprint on the ancestry of cell adhesion and self-recognition in animals! We used proteomics and structure-based searches to re-examine the Aggregation Factor from the classical sponge mode first studied by Henry Wilson in 1907! doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…
