An Anti-inflammatory NOD-like Receptor Is Required for Microglia Development
Microglia are phagocytic cells that form the basis of the brain’s immune system. They derive from primitive macrophages that migrate into the brain during embryogenesis, but the genetic control of microglial development remains elusive. Starting with a genetic screen in zebrafish, we show that the...
