Excited to share our work on the role of hypothalamic microglia in the formation of glucoregulatory circuits. There is so much to learn about these fascinating cells. More to come from my own lab. Stay tuned!

Microglia mediate the early-life programming of adult glucose control
Valdearcos et al. show that microglia shape the hypothalamic perineuronal network
during early postnatal life, ensuring that hypothalamic neurons projecting to the
pancreatic β cell compartment during...
