Funded Activity Summary

Microglial cells play important roles in the development and function of the brain. They also profoundly influence the development and progression of many of the most common neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, neoplasms, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, schizophrenia, and autism. The project will use stem cell technology to produce human microglia, which will allow us and others to study the role of human microglial in neurological disease.
