Aging doesn't just change what brain cells do, it changes what they are! New study shows microglia cells replaced over time by monocyte-like inflammatory cells due to DNA methylation changes, consistent with brain aging and dementia resulting from epigenetic information loss👏🧵

[Salk Institute @salkinstitute]

Salk scientist Rusty Gage was the first to show that the human brain can generate new neurons well into adulthood, overturning a century of scientific dogma that held the adult brain to be fully developed and incapable of regeneration.

Gage’s discovery of human adult neural stem cells was a landmark event in the history of neuroscience, forever changing how we think about the flexibility and regenerative power of the adult brain.

We’ve now learned where these stem cells are and what cells they can turn into. We’re also getting a clearer sense of how diet, exercise, stress, and disease can influence adult neurogenesis, and how this affects our learning, memory, and mental health.

5,562 proteins were found to have tissue-specific enrichment across 32 human tissues.

The majority of them (3,088) are enriched at the protein but not RNA level.

The brain hosts the largest number of proteins that are only enriched at the protein level but not RNA level.

Glad to share our latest work out in @Nature today
We show that human cortical #organoids transplanted into the somatosensory cortex of newborn rats develop mature cell types and integrate into sensory circuits and can influence reward-seeking behavior

Through his pioneering research, Svante Pääbo – this year’s #NobelPrize laureate in physiology or medicine – accomplished something seemingly impossible: sequencing the genome of the Neanderthal, an extinct relative of present-day humans.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

BREAKING NEWS:
The 2022 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Svante Pääbo “for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution.”
