Where this comes from

Abstract

It remains challenging to create a physiologically relevant human-brain-like environment that would support maturation of human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived microglia (hMGs). Schafer et al.<sup>1</sup> (Cell, 2023) now develop an in vivo neuroimmune organoid model with mature homeostatic hMGs for the study of brain development and disease.
