Live-cell imaging of fetal microglia reveals time-dependent sex differences in their responsiveness to prenatal maternal stress

Alexandra Lawson, Matthew Rosin, Jessica M. Rosin

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.

Fetal microglia show region-specific and morphology-dependent sex differences in their responsiveness to prenatal maternal stress

Alexandra Lawson, Matthew Rosin, Jessica M. Rosin

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.
