Our collaboration with Franck Polleux's lab is now out in Neuron! The human brain is characterized by prolonged development. Here, C. Diaz-Salazar shows that human-specific SRGAP2B/SRGAP2C genes slow microglial development, delaying the formation of synapses in humans. www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

Human-specific SRGAP2 paralogs synchronize neotenic microglial maturation and synaptic development

Using a combination of microglia-specific conditional mouse knockout and knockin approaches and xenotransplantation of human iPSC-derived microglia, Diaz-Salazar et al. demonstrate that the human-spec...

Our Master student Abigail King just passed her viva with flying colours. During her stay, she cultured and differentiated hiPSC into microglia before analysing them using immunofluorescence stainings, and made excellent contributions to our lab. She is now looking for a PhD position in the UK.

I really enjoyed reading the early-career investigator commentary by Dr. Claudia Z. Han (WashU) on our recent paper in Biological Psychiatry: www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S000... . We are indeed planning to follow some of the further research directions that were suggested.
