Single-cell transcriptomic and genomic changes in the ageing human brain - Nature
Sequencing analyses of human prefrontal cortex from donors ranging in age from 0.4 to 104 years show that ageing correlates with an accumulation of somatic mutations in short housekeeping genes and a reduction in the expression of these genes.

Online now: Interleukin-34-dependent perivascular macrophages promote vascular function in the brain
Interleukin-34-dependent perivascular macrophages promote vascular function in the brain
The niche signals critical for the homeostasis and functions of the brain border-associated macrophages (BAMs) are not well understood. Van Hove et al. demonstrate that BAMs require IL-34 derived from mural cells and perivascular fibroblasts for their maintenance in adulthood. They show that BAMs are required to promote normal vascular function in the brain.
