Delighted to share our work on how microglia regulate stem cells during the homeostatic development of medaka. This project has been in the works for quite some years since its discovery. Do give it a read and let me know your thoughts on this! #stemcells #microglia #medaka #development

Our study reveals how microglia prune retinal stem cells in medaka fish and provides novel insights into the chemokine signaling involved. If you are excited about the emerging field of immune-stem cell interactions, do check this preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @wittbrodtlab.bsky.social

Immune surveillance and pruning of neuronal stem cells in the medaka retina

Stem cell populations in tissues require precise regulation of their number and quality to maintain proper organ growth and regenerative capacity. Amongst various regulatory mechanisms, immune cells a...
