The brain continuously produces metabolic waste that must be removed. Yet one question has remained: How does #CerebrospinalFluid cross the arachnoid membrane? A team, led by @gou_koh @IBS_media, has now ID'd the missing anatomical gateway. @CellCellPress👉cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Thrilled to share our new study showing how CSF crosses through arachnoid fenestrations to olfactory meningeal lymphatics: Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092… A major step toward understanding CSF exit from subarachnoid space.

Thanks @NatMetabolism for highlighting our work identifying glycerol as an allosteric TNAP activator that defines the activation mechanism of UCP1-independent thermogenesis via the Futile Creatine Cycle (FCC), with implications for bone mineralization.

For 40+ years, we’ve known how UCP1 drives thermogenesis—but how UCP1-independent pathways are activated remained unknown. Thrilled to share our @Nature paper, led by Faiz Hussain, uncovering this mechanism:

Congratulations Paul and your student!!
Very proud of @hamna_ammar! Her undergraduate research has just been published as her first paper, with Hamna as the first author. Hamna uncovered a requirement for Ezh2 in Isl1-expressing progenitors for proper cardiac and hindlimb development.

Out today in Nature Genetics! Our ALS research consortium reports 5 new risk genetic loci for rare ALS. We can now explain approximately 25% of cases by a genetic factor and frame this devastating neuromuscular disease with an oligogenic framework nature.com/articles/s41588-0…
