The people behind the papers – Masahito Irie, Fumitoshi Ishino and Tomoko Kaneko-Ishino
View through CrossRef
Viral-derived genes have had a huge impact during mammalian evolution, with many of the exapted genes being expressed in the placenta. Now, new research published in Development describes the importance of two genes with retroviral origins in microglia, the innate immune cells of the brain, which are derived from another extra-embryonic tissue, the yolk sac. We caught up with the first author, Masahito Irie, and the corresponding authors, Fumitoshi Ishino, Professor at Tokyo Medical and Dental University, and Tomoko Kaneko-Ishino, Professor at Tokai University, to hear about more about their research.
