Novel Cell Models Allow Study of How COVID-19, Other Maternal Exposures Affect the Fetal Brain
By reprogramming neonatal cord blood mononuclear cells, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital have created patient-specific models of fetal microglia-mediated synaptic pruning. These will permit non-invasive investigation of how maternal exposures, including SARS-CoV-2 infection, affect the fetal brain.
