Isolating primary microglia from the cellular heterogeneity of the brain is essential to investigate their role in both physiological and pathological conditions. This protocol describes a mechanical isolation and mixed cell culture technique that provides high yield and high purity, viable primary microglial cells for in vitro study and downstream applications.

This protocol describes a high-throughput workflow for artificial intelligence-driven segmentation of pathology-confirmed regions of interest from stained, thin tissue section images for enrichment of histology-resolved cell populations using laser microdissection. This strategy includes a novel algorithm enabling the transfer of demarcations denoting cell populations of interest directly to laser microscopes.
