Modeling maternal immune activation in 3D ex vivo human fetal brain cerebroids reveals IL-17A-driven disruption of cortical development - Nature Neuroscience
Using cerebroids, a 3D ex vivo model of the human fetal brain, the authors show that IL-17A, a mediator of maternal immune activation linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, disrupts early human corti...

Today is World Obesity Day (bit ironic to have that the same day as Pancake day/Mardi Gras). At the @rowettinstitute.bsky.social @aberdeenneuro.bsky.social our team is trying to understand the impact it has on cognition and the brain, especially when it occurs during early life. #worldobesityday
