Deskripsi
TREM2 is a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, and soluble TREM2 (sTREM2) in the CSF correlates with AD progression. Here the authors study the role of sTREM2 in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, and find it reduces amyloid accumulation and increases the numbers of plaque-associated microglia which correlates with improved behavioural function in the mice.
