Abstract

Border-associated macrophages (BAMs) reside at the interface between the brain and the periphery, including the meninges and choroid plexus. In this issue of Immunity, two studies report the dynamics, diversity, and fate of murine BAMs during infection, assigning these cells a neuroprotective role.
