Somatic mutations reveal the ontogeny of human microglia

2026-05-20

Abstract excerpt

Microglia are the resident hematopoietic cells of the central nervous system 1 . In mice, microglia seed the brain during embryogenesis and can be maintained throughout life with minimal input from adult hematopoiesis 2–4 . The origins of human microglia are less clear, but recent evidence suggests that marrow-derived cells may be able to supplement the human microglial pool in certain individuals 5,6 . Here, t...
