Modeling Prenatal Immune Activation in Human Brain Organoids Uncovers IL-6-Dependent Interneuron Dysmaturation

Ava V. Papetti, Ziyuan Ma, Michelle Ng, Mengmeng Jin, Steven W. Levison, Peng Jiang

This study uses human brain organoids to show that transient IL-6 exposure during prenatal development disrupts interneuron maturation and subtype specification, linking it to neurodevelopmental disorders.
