Did you know that the fetal immune system can protect from congenital infection before birth? -Proud to share our study identifying protective functions of #microglia, contrasting the harmful early influence of #monocytes and primitive macrophages to #zika virus infection.

We wanted to put over a decade of advances on the immunology surrounding fetal Zika infection in context in our review "Immune mechanisms of congenital Zika syndrome" @SciImmunology. So happy to see it's #openaccess! written with @Abhay_R_ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

www.science.org Immune mechanisms of congenital Zika syndrome This Review discusses both fetal and maternal immune responses that influence the development of congenital Zika syndrome.

Delighted to see Chia-Lin featured by @JExpMed - one of the #womeninSTEM I’ve always admired.

National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University 國立陽明交通大學 @NYCU_official Sep 23, 2025

👩‍🔬 JEM invited NYCU’s Prof. Chia-Lin Hsu to share her journey as a female scientist—founding a lab, chasing dreams, and overcoming challenges.

A voice from Taiwan to empower more women in science. 💡
