In this study, Miserocchi et al. find that Tgf-β receptor signaling is a conserved, cell-intrinsic regulator of microglial differentiation in zebrafish. Disrupting this pathway blocks acquisition and ...

What should Europe do when demand for its most successful frontier research programme keeps rising? Restrict access, or invest in the excellence it has created? A new open letter, spearheaded by Sara...

The zebrafish brain combines a conserved heterogeneity of immune cells with a unique dendritic cell-like population.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplant is the gold standard for treatment of globoid cell leukodystrophy, also called Krabbe disease. Aisenberg et al. define the molecular signature of disease-associated macrophages (globoid cells) and demonstrate that brain-specific high-efficiency macrophage replacement in the twitcher model of Krabbe disease improves neuropathology, macrophage dysfunction, and survival.
