Expanding the neuroimmune research toolkit with in vivo brain organoid technologies.
Review in Disease models & mechanisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Human pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia-like cells (MLCs) and brain organoid systems have revolutionized the study of neuroimmune interactions, providing new opportunities to model human-specific brain development and disease. Over the past decade, advances in protocol design have improved the fidelity, reproducibility and scalability of MLC and brain organoid generation. Co-culturing of MLCs and brain organoids have enabled direct investigations of human microglial interactions in vitro, although opportunities remain to improve microglial maturation and long-term survival. To address these limitations, innovative xenotransplantation approaches have introduced MLCs, organoids or neuroimmune organoids into the rodent brain, providing a vascularized environment that supports prolonged development and potential behavioral readouts. These expanding in vitro and in vivo toolkits offer complementary strategies to study neuroimmune interactions in health and disease. In this Perspective, we discuss the strengths, limitations and synergies of these models, highlighting important considerations for their future applications.
