We are happy to announce the first workshop in our new series: Back to Basics!

The goal of this series is to take a fresh look at the basic assumptions held in our field.

In the first workshop, we will ask the most fundamental question: What is a neuron?

In the most recent work of my laboratory, we demonstrate that placozoans can respond to endogenous monoamines. Here you can look at the effects of tyramine, which increases the speed of placozoans.

Did you know lung epithelial cells have an intermediate pulmonary surfactant pool? Neither did we—until our resident microscopist Dimitri Vanhecke's latest work revealed this exocytosis hotspot with stunning microscopy and quantitative analysis. https://t.co/DVYN4XgbYr
