TL;DR: Two mouse strains called MITRG and MISTRG are described, in which human versions of four genes encoding cytokines important for innate immune cell development are knocked into their respective mouse loci, which may enable evaluation of therapeutic candidates in an in vivo setting relevant to human physiology.

Abstract: Mice repopulated with human hematopoietic cells are a powerful tool for the study of human hematopoiesis and immune function in vivo. However, existing humanized mouse models cannot support development of human innate immune cells, including myeloid cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Here we describe two mouse strains called MITRG and MISTRG, in which human versions of four genes encoding cytokines important for innate immune cell development are knocked into their respective mouse loci. The human cytokines support the development and function of monocytes, macrophages and NK cells derived from human fetal liver or adult CD34(+) progenitor cells injected into the mice. Human macrophages infiltrated a human tumor xenograft in MITRG and MISTRG mice in a manner resembling that observed in tumors obtained from human patients. This humanized mouse model may be used to model the human immune system in scenarios of health and pathology, and may enable evaluation of therapeutic candidates in an in vivo setting relevant to human physiology.

TL;DR: Schulz et al. as discussed by the authors investigated whether adult macrophages all share a common developmental origin and found that a population of yolk-sac-derived, tissue-resident macophages was able to develop and persist in adult mice in the absence of hematopoietic stem cells.

TL;DR: iMGLs were used to examine the effects of Aβ fibrils and brain-derived tau oligomers on AD-related gene expression and to interrogate mechanisms involved in synaptic pruning, and whole-transcriptome analysis demonstrates that they are highly similar to cultured adult and fetal human microglia.
