A new study reveals that inflammation during pregnancy may impair neurodevelopment in infants by reducing CD11c-positive microglia--key immune cells that support brain myelination. These cells produce IGF-1, a protein critical for forming the myelin sheath that helps nerve signals travel efficiently.
