Live-cell imaging of fetal microglia reveals time-dependent sex differences in their responsiveness to prenatal maternal stress
Prenatal maternal stress is increasingly being linked to neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), and across diverse maternal stressors, immune dysregulation is emerging as a common feature. This suggests that fetal microglia may influence neurodevelopment by detecting changes in signaling from the intrauterine environment. Using a mouse model of prenatal maternal stress, where pregnant mice were…
