We say hi from the beautiful city of Toulouse! At the 11th European Mast Cell and Basophil Network (EMBRN) Meeting, we came together with our 'family' of the mast cell research. We had lively disussions at the poster sessions and very fruitful conversations with cooperation partners. Additionally, we were able to present our research with a poster (Konstantinos), two talks (Johanna and Aaron) and the closing lecture (Prof. Anne Dudeck). And Aaron even took home the Best Presentation Award. What a successful meeting!

It was with great sorrow that we learned of the painful loss of our beloved friend and colleague Mohsen who died far too early. In 2019, Mohsen finished his master thesis in our lab. He was shortly before completion of his excellent dissertation in the lab of Prof. Dr. med. Rüdiger Braun-Dullaeus at the department of cardiology and angiology at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg. We will keep him in our hearts. Our thoughts are now with his family, his partner and his friends.
