Abstract
Despite extensive evidence implicating the microbiota in regulating the immune system, the precise mechanisms underlying microbial control of microglial maturation remain unclear. In a methodological tour de force, Erny et al. (2021) identify acetate as an essential microbiota-derived molecule driving microglial metabolic pathways and functions during healthy and diseased states.
