This study identifies a proliferative-to-quiescent switch in microglial development and links it to epigenetic regulation and phagocytic function.

The paper introduces DeepCellMap, a deep learning tool for analyzing spatial cellular organization in developing brains, revealing microglial phenotypes and spatial clustering patterns.

This study investigates microglial colonisation during brain development, showing clonal expansion of proliferative progenitors and an allometric scaling of microglia density.

This study examines microglial dynamics across the human lifespan using postmortem tissues and RNAseq data, revealing novel developmental patterns linked to neurodevelopmental milestones.

This study shows that excessive microglial proliferation in Alzheimer's disease leads to replicative senescence and disease-associated microglia, contributing to Aβ pathology.
