Do microglia and/or neurons contribute to Gaucher disease? insight.jci.org/articles/vie… Hannah Duffy, Colleen Byrnes, et al. use cell-specific deletion models to answer the question. Image: specificity of the Gba deletion in microglia (left) and neurons (right). @ProiaLab @NIDDKgov

Welcome to today's JLR #LipidTakeover. I'm your host, Michael Brenner! We're dedicating the posts today to the late Richard Pagano of Johns Hopkins University, who pioneered many of our currently used lipid trafficking assays.

Don't miss the first webinar of the series on #Sphingolipid Biology. Next April 20th! Our first guest will be Thorsten Hornemann from the University Hospital Zurich
Over the course of his research career, Wakelam investigated cell signaling and communication with a focus on the physiological functions of lipids. bit.ly/3e8CNH0
We are deeply sad by the passing away of Michael Wakelam, Director of @BabrahamInst and member of EU-LIFE Board of Directors. Michael was a great friend and colleague who will be terribly missed. All our thoughts are with his family and Babraham Institute community.
The Institute is extremely saddened to announce that Michael Wakelam died yesterday from suspected Covid-19. Our thoughts are with Michael’s family and the many who will miss him. ow.ly/UqBs50z2BoN

Disappointing news today that the sphingolipid GRC in Italy has been cancelled. Totally understand the decision but was really looking forward to an awesome meeting. 😢 #sphingolipids #COVIDー19

The FY20 federal budget signed into law last night includes $41.7b for NIH, $2.6b more than FY19, $7.5b above President’s request. Each IC will see at least a 3.3% increase. The NSF budget will be $8.28b, $203.3m above the FY19 budget, $1.2b more than the President’s request.

Just one patient will ever use a drug created by scientists in Boston. It's an achievement in ultra-personalized medicine, but some ethicists and government regulators are worried about what comes next.  nyti.ms/2AW7Mnk

Dr. Joachim Messing declined to patent his great advances in understanding DNA. “Jo’s approach to the development of his DNA sequencing tools was to spread them freely and widely,” a colleague said. “He was an incredibly generous man.” nyti.ms/2lAnUXE
