ABSTRACT
The border tissues of the brain harbor specialized immune cells known as border-associated macrophages (BAMs), which have vital roles at these interfaces. However, factors governing their development and maintenance remain elusive. In a recent study, Van Hove et al. elegantly demonstrated that interleukin (IL)-34 is critical for sustaining BAMs and enabling their regulation of vascular function.
