cool, we always wondered about the timing of microglia repopulation when you nuke them with the plexxikon molecule. Much more elegant to kill the xl-addicted cells. The question is always "do xl-addicted cells = senescent cells?" It's a harder question to answer than it seems, at least in vivo.

Cool stuff! I haven't read the paper yet, but I will.

Back in my Unity days we were very interested in senescent microglia, but decided to focus on the retina instead. Do you think you would get similar results with a molecule like Plexxikon's CSFR1 inhibitor, which generally wipes out microglia?

Lake Champlain really has been exceptional this week

I went skiing the other day and accidentally went up (the closed and unplowed) Honey Hollow road rather than the Honey Hollow trail. I was rewarded with a glimpse into someone's little slice of paradise in the hills of VT

Ok, guess it is time to make a post. This week has been great for skating here in Vermont. I'm lucky to have a family who loves to be outside as much as I do.
