Radial astroglia cooperate with microglia to clear neuronal cell bodies during zebrafish optic tectum development

Heather M. Barber, Cassidy G. Robbins, Zachary Cutler, Robin Isadora Brown, Lauren E. Jung, Inge L. Werkman, Sarah Kucenas

The paper shows radial astroglia form scyllate heads to surround dying neurons during zebrafish optic tectum development, with microglia later removing their contents.
