Deskripsi

Irradiation depletes brain microglia cells and induces replenishment of the pool by bone marrow (BM)-derived macrophage. Here the authors show, using mouse BM chimera, that BM-derived macrophages establish long-term residency in the brain, but remain distinct from resident microglia in their transcriptome and gene accessibility landscape.
