A decades-old enzyme mystery, solved: #UTSW postdoc Victor López, Ph.D., and colleagues identified DOLK and TMEM19 as missing kinases in the polyisoprenyl salvage pathway. The discovery earned him the Brown-Goldstein Award and opens new research questions. bit.ly/3T6OuHT

Gaining therapeutic access to the human brain is one of the biggest unsolved problems in biomedical science. Today @nature, we uncover a massive influx of immune cells into the human brain during aging, revealing that the brain is more accessible than previously thought. 1/ nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Somatic mutations reveal the ontogeny of microglia in human ageing

Nature - A widespread influx of myeloid cells into the healthy human brain contributes to the pool of human microglia and becomes common with ageing.
