New tools for studying microglia in the mouse and human CNS.

TL;DR: Transmembrane protein 119 (Tmem119), a cell-surface protein of unknown function, is identified as a highly expressed microglia-specific marker in both mouse and human, which will greatly facilitate understanding of microglial function in health and disease.
