Our brains rely on microglia—they deliver the lysosomal enzyme β-hexosaminidase to neurons to clear toxic GM2 buildup. And transplanted microglia-like cells can rescue neurodegeneration. Just published in Nature! 🧠 🔗

Sensory neurons shape local macrophage identity via TGF-β signaling
Specialized macrophages are known to persist within tissue niches, but the molecular mechanisms guiding their sustained functional adaptation remain unclear. Kolter and Döring et al. show that local interactions between sensory nerves and macrophages activate TGF-β, which imprints and maintains nerve-associated macrophages that contribute to regeneration after tissue injury.

Microglia regulate GABAergic neurogenesis in prenatal human brain through IGF1 - Nature
Microglia-derived IGF1 promotes the proliferation of GABAergic progenitors and neuroblasts in the human medial ganglionic eminence, contributing to the extended production of GABAergic neurons and an expanded cognitive capacity in the human brain.
