This study shows that adhesion is the main determinant of tissue rheology and that uncoupling adhesion-driven from density-driven rigidification triggers epithelial organization.

This study generates and characterizes human brain border-associated macrophages (BAMs) using iPSC-derived models, showing a conserved hyper-endocytic phenotype across species.

This study identifies brain border-associated macrophages (BAMs) as rhythmic cells regulated by the circadian clock, showing that their endocytic activity and amyloid-beta uptake are disrupted with age and in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.

This study uses heterochronic myeloid cell replacement to show that the local brain environment, not intrinsic factors, drives microglia aging.
