This study shows that neurodevelopmental processes in the cortex and thalamus can occur normally without microglia, using a genetically modified mouse model.

This study shows microglia promote beta-amyloid plaque formation but are not required for subsequent pathological changes in Alzheimer's disease.

This study creates a single-cell atlas of human liver development, identifying pathways and factors that guide hepatic cell fates and improving hepatocyte-like cell functionality.

The paper shows that refeeding after fasting rapidly activates oligodendrocyte differentiation in the hypothalamic median eminence, altering extracellular matrix proteins and using mTORC1 signaling to monitor nutritional signals.
