This study uses live-cell imaging to show sex-specific differences in fetal microglial responses to prenatal maternal cold stress, revealing time-dependent changes in morphology, motility, and phagocytic behavior.

This study shows that prenatal maternal cold stress causes male-specific changes in fetal microglia morphology and function in the hypothalamic PVN, which may contribute to sex differences in social behavior.

This study shows that prenatal maternal stress affects fetal hypothalamic neurodevelopment differently in male and female mice, altering transcriptional profiles and cell-cell communication.

This study inhibits CSF1R signaling during gestation using PLX5622 and observes musculoskeletal changes in postnatal offspring.

This study shows that depleting CSF1R+ macrophages and osteoclasts during pregnancy impairs craniofacial development, affecting skull shape, sutures, and facial structures.
