I’m deeply grateful for the guidance of Jacob Musser (@jacobmusser.bsky.social).

This work was made possible by an incredible team: Nawaphat Malaiwong, Ling Wang, Jamie Maziarz, Kejue Jia, @mike-od.bsky.social, and the @embl.org Heidelberg metabolomics & proteomics core.

We show that sponges use monoamines to control water flow in their canals β€” reminiscent of how adrenaline regulates blood vessels.
