A fresh supply of the immune cells that keep the brain tidy might one day help to treat a host of conditions, from ultra-rare genetic disorders to more familiar scourges, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Swapping old immune cells in the brain with fresh ones could treat disease
Nature - Replacing immune cells called microglia holds promise for addressing brain conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.
