Abstract
The diverse etiologies of the genetic neurodegenerative disorder known as primary familial brain calcification have dimmed hopes for curative therapies. However, two new papers in Neuron1,2 provide a reason for optimism by identifying mechanisms involved in brain phosphate transport and a promising target for restoring phosphate balance in the brain.
