Abstract

Dissecting contributions of microglia to human brain development and disease pathogenesis requires modeling interactions between these microglia and their local environment. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Popova et al. (2021) propose a transcriptomic "microglia report card" and create a neuroimmune organoid to model complex interactions involving human microglia.
