📄🚨: Building off a stellar 2023 pub that engineered an hCSF1R variant, Sonia et al. now show how an mCSF1R variant not only confers inhibitor resistance and allows for efficient & non-toxic microglia replacement, but does so after vascular delivery into immunocompetent mice! 👏🧠

Check out this new paper on Leaf Cutter Ants The Berger lab has published in cell! This story is super cool and provides new insights into conserved mechanisms in eusocial societies!
Neuropeptides specify and reprogram division of labor in the leafcutter ant Atta cephalotes
We identify specific neuropeptides mediating worker division of labor in the leafcutting ant A. cephalotes, finding two neuropeptides associated with characteristic behaviors of leafcutting and of bro...

Online now: Direct microglia replacement reveals pathologic and therapeutic contributions of brain macrophages to a monogenic neurological disease
Direct microglia replacement reveals pathologic and therapeutic contributions of brain macrophages to a monogenic neurological disease
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant is the gold standard for treatment of globoid cell leukodystrophy, also called Krabbe disease. Aisenberg et al. define the molecular signature of disease-associated macrophages (globoid cells) and demonstrate that brain-specific high-efficiency macrophage replacement in the twitcher model of Krabbe disease improves neuropathology, macrophage dysfunction, and survival.

My thesis paper is out in @elife.bsky.social! We look forward to making it even better as we respond to our (very kind) reviewer comments. Till then, see how we created a novel microglia replacement system & showed that brain macs can drive brain interferonopathy!
